The World Bank’s Acting Country Director for Vietnam Achim Fock said on May 12 that in the last five years, there has been steady progress in advancing structural reforms in critical areas such as the banking sector, and the business climate.
These reforms need to be sustainable during the deployment of the new five-year 2011-2016 plan to unlock Vietnam’s full growth potential, Achim Fock said.
It is financed by the World Bank’s International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the financing window for middle-income countries.
