US Treasury Department appreciates Vietnam’s monetary management

The US Department of Treasury has recently issued a report on macroeconomic and foreign exchange policies of major US trading partners, with reviews based on three criteria including bilateral trade surplus, current account surplus, and persistent one-sided foreign exchange market intervention.

 

According to the report, in the period from January 1 to December 2021, Vietnam met the criteria set forth by the US Department of Treasury with a trade surplus in goods and services with the US of 90 billion USD. The Department continues to acknowledge Vietnam’s progress in this regard.
