Speaking at the conference, Mr. Mike Williams - International Monetary Fund Specialist (IMF) said that basically there were 3 pillars in the innovation of treasury management functions.

Vietnam is currently strengthening its capacity and devoting resources for this item. However, there is still a lot things to do. Thirdly, proactively managing funds.
“Vietnam has had some initial steps of thinking toward managing surpluses of budget more effectively. We turn to using funds more efficiently in order to support other financial policies, not only just about debt management and market development. However, this issue must be consulted with the State Bank, Ministry of Finance,... pushing more strongly in the future," Mr. Mike Williams said.
