IMF Announces $223-Million Loan to Vietnam: The International Monetary Fund said it will make the loan to help rebuild the nation’s economy. The loan represents another milestone in Vietnam’s bid to become a fully integrated member of the world economy.

Further funding is expected from the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.
