The agency should also work on projects to mobilise gold and prevent dollarization, and consider the restructuring of State-owned enterprises to strengthen transparency, he added.
Under the PM’s Decision 59/2011/QD-TTg, the council is designed to advise the Government and the PM on major policies, projects and proposals as well as other important issues in the fields of finance and monetary management at the macroscopic level.
According to Deputy PM Hue, the council serves as a mechanism to bring together managers and researchers in the area to provide consultations in macro-economy management.
As scheduled, the fist meeting of the council is slated for June, aiming to review the macro-economic management in the first half of this year and give advice to the government and PM on how to fulfil targets for the rest of the year.
The building of a working agenda for the whole tenure of the council will also be discussed.
Deputy PM Hue also asked members of the council to give ideas on how Vietnam should manage financial and fiscal policies when Vietnam joins the ASEAN Economic Community.
