| Sha Wen, CDOT Regional Treasury Advisor, conducted a remote technical assistance engagement to support the Lao P.D.R.’s National Treasury Department (NTD) in advancing the implementation of the unified Chart of Accounts (CoA) reform. The engagement focused on operationalizing the new economic segment, including guidance on recording transactions, strengthening the accounting manual, and finalizing explanatory notes. The mission helped establish key institutional arrangements and improved reporting templates and account coding. The authorities demonstrated strong ownership and plan to roll out the economic segment in Q3 2026, while requesting continued IMF support during implementation. |
