Coordination, especially inter-sectoral coordination in CJES, has been given attention and focus and achieved many positive results.

Despite many difficulties, the number of cases and the amount of money received increased, but the results of THADS in 2023 reached the highest ever, with more than 575,000 cases, collecting over 89,000 billion VND, of which over 20,000 billion VND was from recovering assets misappropriated and lost in corruption and economic cases (an increase of nearly 4,500 billion VND compared to 2022).
