Summary: | Vietnam has made progress to improve
oversight and control over cash balances for the state
budget. The current arrangement however falls short of a
treasury single account (TSA), which has led to
inefficiencies in the management of cash balances and higher
than necessary borrowing costs. In response to this, the
Government of Vietnam has embarked on reforms to adopt a TSA
and strengthen overall cash management. This policy note
provides a review of progress in implementing a TSA system
in Vietnam, the remaining challenges and obstacles, and how
to overcome these for further TSA and cash management
reforms. It is the product of ongoing discussions between
the World Bank and the Ministry of Finance. Part A gives
background and motivation; part B provides an overview of
the state treasury system in Vietnam; part C reviews the
progress in establishing a TSA, including against benchmarks
of international good practice, and makes recommendations
for priority next steps; and part D concludes with a review
of cash management functions. |
