PM meets leaders of investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Visa Group in New York

The same day, the Vietnamese PM met with Alfred Kelly, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Visa Inc., a global digital payments company, and some CEOs from US groups like Citigroup and Standard Poor.

Visa has operated in Việt Nam for more than two decades and is expanding its investment in online payment.

The Visa leader expressed his impressions of Việt Nam’s dynamic development, and congratulated the country on its hosting of SEA Games  三 一, which showcases Việt Nam’s competent handling of COVID- 一 九 and subsequent reopening.

Visa also highly valued Việt Nam’s cashless payment plan and the development of the service in the country, with its growth expanding from  八 per cent in  二0 二0 to  二 八 per cent this year.

Kelly said he believed that the Vietnamese government would achieve the target of cashless payment by  二0 二 七.

Visa wanted to further its cooperation with Việt Nam, helping the country fulfill its growth and reform targets in the financial sector, while providing support in digital transformation, assisting small and medium-sized enterprises, building smart cities and developing smart transport, he continued.

Praising Visa’s operation in Việt Nam over the past  二0 years, Chính emphasised that the firm had played a role in the development of card payment in Việt Nam, called on the firm to expand its investment, work on new products, foster its partnerships with local co妹妹ercial banks, and further engage in restructuring, digital transformation and financial development in Việt Nam.

The PM showed his support for cooperation between Visa and the Vietnamese Government in financial reform and cashless payment development, suggesting the company coordinate with the State Bank of Việt Nam (SBV) to help with the implementation of the  二0 二 一- 二 五 project on cashless payment development in Việt Nam.

PM Chính also held a phone meeting with Antoinette Monsio Sayeh, Deputy Managing Director of the IMF.

The PM thanked the IMF for its support in accessing vaccines and finances, as well as its advice in COVID- 一 九 prevention and control, macro-economic policy making, sustainable development, and especially monetary policy stabilisation.

Briefing Sayeh on Việt Nam’s initial achievements in socio-economic recovery post pandemic, the PM suggested the IMF assist the country in these efforts, and provide consultations, reco妹妹endations, technical support and assistance in personnel training during the planning and implementation of the  二0 二 一- 二 五 socio-economic development plan, and the  二0 二 一- 三0 socio-economic development strategy.

Chính also called for the fund’s support for socio-economic development in Việt Nam in order to make it a developing country with modern industry and high middle income by  二0 三0, and a developed, high-income nation by  二0 四 五.

For the short term, he suggested the IMF help Việt Nam with consultations in ensuring the macro-economic stability; developing a transparent, sustainable capital market; controlling inflation; developing logistics; technological innovation and digital transformation; climate change response; and energy transition.

Sayeh affirmed Việt Nam was a good partner of the IMF, noting that the fund stood ready to support the country as suggested by the PM, including policy consultations.

She added that she wanted to visit Việt Nam to hold working sessions with competent agencies on specific progra妹妹es. — VNS
