On September 4, according to information from the Ministry of Justice, the Department of Civil Judgment Enforcement (CJE) held a conference to review civil judgment enforcement work for the first ten months of 2025. The report highlighted that the recovery of assets in criminal cases involving corruption and economic crimes remained a “bright spot.”
In terms of case execution, the nationwide total stood at 977,700 cases, with 446,842 cases completed, achieving a 63.14% success rate.
Regarding monetary enforcement, the total amount to be enforced exceeded VND 647 trillion, and VND 116.89 trillion was successfully enforced, representing a 31.6% success rate.
In corruption and economic cases, the CJE sector concluded 3,585 cases, recovering over VND 22.342 trillion.
For credit and banking cases, the recovered amount surpassed VND 30.426 trillion, reflecting a 25.67% increase compared to the same period last year.
Turning to administrative judgment enforcement, 1,997 judgments are being monitored, with 744 already enforced, an increase of 77 cases compared to 2024.
Leaders of the Civil Judgment Enforcement sector share the achievements made in the first ten months of 2025.
Mr. Nguyen Thang Loi, Director of the CJE Department, emphasized that despite challenges, the sector demonstrated remarkable determination and achieved notable results in 2025: an increase of over VND 29.744 trillion in successfully enforced amounts compared to the same period in 2024; continued positive outcomes in enforcing corruption and economic cases; and the initial stabilization and smoothness of the two-tier CJE system, laying a crucial foundation for leadership and management.
Acknowledging the achievements, Mr. Loi also frankly pointed out existing shortcomings that require urgent attention: the completion rates for case enforcement and monetary recovery fall short of the targets set by the National Assembly and the Government; a lingering passive and indecisive attitude in some units; uneven implementation of information technology; and ineffective coordination with local authorities, especially at the commune level.
Based on these realities, Mr. Loi instructed the entire system to focus intently and synchronously implement key tasks and solutions in the coming time.
This includes strengthening administrative discipline, innovating leadership and guidance styles, and overcoming the “wait-and-see” mentality that relies heavily on instructions and guidance from higher authorities.
Emphasizing the need for decisive action, he urged the resolution of cases with enforceable conditions, particularly those involving court fees, disposal of exhibits, economic crimes, corruption, and credit and banking cases.
Additionally, he called for enhanced public reception, timely handling of complaints and denunciations, and proactive advisory roles in completing the restructuring of provincial-level CJE Steering Committees and fostering close coordination with interdisciplinary agencies.
Mr. Loi also stressed the imperative of comprehensively applying information technology and digital transformation in management and operations to ensure data transparency and interoperability.
Furthermore, he advised reviewing and rationally arranging human resources while addressing the well-being of civil servants post-merger, along with decisively replacing underperforming or incompetent individuals who fail to meet task requirements.
