(VOV) -The German Development Cooperation’s GIZ Macroeconomic Reform Programme and the Vietnamese-German University on August 30 co-organised a forum on “Macroeconomic reform of Vietnam”.



The forum is part of the framework of the GIZ’s Macroeconomic Reform Programme in Vietnam as commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It is also one of the very first programmes in which the GIZ performed its advisory function since its inception in Vietnam in 1993.


At this forum, key experts from the Central Institute for Economic Management, the State Bank of Vietnam, the Ministry of Finance, the Economic Commission of the National Assembly, the National Financial Supervisory Commission share their analyses and perspectives on economic restructuring and reform of state enterprises, the monetary policy and financial market, as well as the economic outlook and foreign investment in Vietnam.


Variety of discussions are facilitated through the moderation of German and Vietnamese experts. The participants, coming from various macroeconomic management and research institutions, banks and enterprises, also shared their views, comments and recommendations on macroeconomic policies under the aspects of economic, monetary and financial reforms.

The Macroeconomic Reform Programme aims at strengthening market-oriented institutions in Vietnam. The Programme focuses on three levels of capacity development: improving the general Vietnamese regulatory framework; reforming institutions responsible for supervising and implementing the regulatory framework; and raising the performance capability of their staff.


The Programme’s components reflect the key areas: Economic and Social Policy, Public Finance and Financial Systems Development.


The training interventions in the Programme’s component 4 ‘Strengthening Macroeconomic Policies’ contribute to the development of a stable and transparent financial system in Vietnam, as well as to strengthening the State’s core functions in managing further economic reforms.


By training experts in macroeconomics and finance, the component supports capacity building efforts of key institutions responsible for macroeconomic and fiscal governance in the task of supervising and steering Vietnamese markets and the economy.


The programme enables experts from several partner institutions to design and advise on reforming monetary and fiscal policy that take national, regional and international macroeconomic policies and objectives into account and contribute to the national development goals of Vietnam.
