The Government Office and the People's Supreme Court signed the Coordination Regulation on building e-government and e-court for enhancing administrative reform and improving management.

The Vietnamese government is mindful that e-government application is a foundation for the country's socio-economic development and international integration.

The move will help Vietnamese enterprises to catch up with the global trend for digital transformation.

The Vietnamese government continues to push up the application of e-government, in which people and businesses are the centre of service.

Over 1,000 administrative procedures, 3,893 out of 6,191 business conditions and 6,776 out of 9,926 categories of goods subject to specialized inspection have been simplified or removed in four years.

For the first time, Vietnam would have a long-term strategy that ensures steady development of digital government in the coming years.

The government would continue to hold majority stakes at state-owned commercial banks, and maintain presence in companies operating in fields that are essential to the economy.

By 2025, Vietnam targets to be among the leading 70 countries in e-government development, while the digital economy would account for 20% of total GDP.
