Macroeconomic Stability and Safeguard Progress Must Be Ensured

An immediate need for the Lao People’s Democratic Republic is to ensure macroeconomic stability and safeguard progress achieved in recent years, including reductions in poverty. The gradual improvements in trade and investment conditions, prompted by the preparations to join the World Trade Organization, should help in that regard.

Reports
