In recent years, the system of statistic reporting data, which have been established on the basis of the Decision No. 516/2000/QD-NHNN1 dated 18 December, 2000 of the Governor of the State Bank has made significant contribution to the success in the regulation of the State Bank (SBV), contributing considerably to the common achievement of the country on its way to the economic development and integration. The monetary and banking area is greatly sensitive to political, economic and social changes and directly affects the stability of important macroeconomic indices, especially in face of the present complicated situation in the world. For the sustaining of successes of previous years, satisfying requirements arising from the new situation, the innovation process of the monetary, banking management of the SBV has been taking place very strongly, which includes the innovation of the statistic reporting (the current statistic reporting regime issued in conjunction with the decision No. 516/2000/QD-NHNN1 dated 18 December, 2000 of the Governor of the State Bank and from 1 January, 2005, the new statistic reporting regime which is issued in conjunction with the Decision No. 477/2004/QD-NHNN dated 28 April, 2004 of the State Bank's Governor shall be effective).
