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. The first is building the unified or unique treasury account. On this point Vietnam has progressed quite well and controlled resources. The second is to build a cash flow forecast. 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.
