“In the past time, the implementation of Resolution 42 has many shortcomings. If it is removed, the handling of bad debts can achieve more positive results. Borrowers are unable to repay loans, when organizations Credit institutions that want to handle collateral still have to consult the borrower. While there are cases of borrowers fleeing, the mechanism for handling collateral is still very difficult,” said Mr. Nguyen Ngoc. Bao, the National Assembly Delegation of Bac Ninh province, said.

After 5 years of implementation, more than 380,200 billion dong of bad debt has been handled according to Resolution 42, equal to 47.9% of the identified bad debt.
