The Minister said that UNDP has supported US$13.51 million of non-refundable aid through the implementation of eight programs/projects and is the third largest donor of the Ministry of Finance.
“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.
Currently, Vietnam is also making strong progress in the transition to renewable energy. The Minister wishes that UNDP will continue to provide technical and financial support to Vietnam to realize this target.
Speaking at the meeting, Ms. Caitlin Wiesen congratulated the Ministry of Finance on successfully developing the National Financial Strategy to 2030. UNDP wishes for further cooperation with the Ministry of Finance in the areas of support to enhance transparency in the financial market, stock market and capital market.
