Xinhua, August 25, 2015 Adjust font size:

Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said Tuesday that recent fluctuation of domestic and international stock and currency market do not affect Vietnam's macro-economic development situation.

There is no major sign affecting the country's macro-economy or leading to changes in yearly development targets, said the cabinet chief at a meeting with ministries and agencies here on Tuesday.

The government urged relevant ministries and agencies to control and keep foreign exchange rate stable, manage the securities market and balance state budget revenue and expenditure, according to the website of Vietnamese government.

He also asked for boosting production activities, including oil and gas, promoting exports while controlling imports.

Also speaking at the meeting, Nguyen Van Binh, governor of the State Bank of Vietnam, the country's central bank, said the exchange rate between Vietnamese dong and U.S. dollar has been adjusted remarkably recently and there is no reason for further devaluation of the Vietnamese currency.

Vietnam's economic growth is set to reach 6.2 percent in 2015. Endi
