“UNDP's support has made a positive contribution to the reform process of various public financial management areas such as state budget management, public debt management, corporate financial management, and strengthened financial policy analysis capacity for the Ministry of Finance of Vietnam,” the Minister said.

The Minister also suggested that UNDP continue to accompany Vietnam and the Ministry of Finance in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and combating climate change; including helping Vietnam mobilize finance for development and providing advice on financial policy for post-pandemic recovery towards green and sustainable development.

The Minister said that as one of the countries heavily affected by climate change, Vietnam is determined to implement its commitments at COP26, and strive to achieve “net zero emission” by 2050. This requires huge financial resources and technology transfer.
