Fundamentals remain in place

Despite declining economic performance, writes Doctor Nguyen Quang Thai, the long-term fundamentals needed for Vietnam to recover from the ongoing crisis remain in place.

I am wondering if "in place" means "in the same spot, without advancing or retreating" here.

Thanks.
