Vietnam’s macroeconomics is on the right track, said Alfred
Schipke, head of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) team reviewing
macroeconomic and structural policies.
Inflation has
fallen, economic growth is at a reasonable rate and foreign currency
reserves have increased, said Schipke at a meeting with Deputy Prime
Minister Vu Van Ninh in Hanoi on April 23 during his visit to
Vietnam.
The IMF is willing to further strengthen
cooperation with Vietnam, especially in providing technical
assistance and sharing experiences, the guest stressed.
Ninh expressed his gratitude for the IMF’s past support and assistance to Vietnam.
Briefing the IMF official on Vietnam’s macroeconomic situation,
Ninh said the Vietnamese Government will continue its efforts to curb
inflation, stabilise macroeconomics and step up economic
restructuring.
Ninh stressed the Vietnamese side
will seriously consider the IMF’s recommendations relating to the
country’s macroeconomics and economic restructure.-VNA
