The article reports figures released by the Служба исполнения при правительстве РТ (Enforcement Service under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan) for the first nine months of 2025. The article reports that 1,600 citizens included on the Service’s debtors’ list were blocked from leaving the country during the period; these individuals reportedly paid off more than 24.7 million somoni, over US$108,000 and 1,736 Belarusian rubles in arrears owed to the state, individuals and legal entities. The article reports that the number of debtors rose by 260 compared with the same period in 2024, and recovered sums rose by 9.65 million somoni, US$91,800 and 1,736 Belarusian rubles. The article reports that during the nine months, 2,350 individuals and 13 enterprises and organisations were entered into the Unified State Register of Debtors (1,062 more than in the same period last year). The article reports that exit restrictions were applied to 5,075 debtors during the period (2,123 more than a year earlier), and that more than 21,000 debtors have been subject to such measures since earlier years. The article reports that nearly 150 million somoni was recovered in child-support (alimony) arrears — up 126.5 million somoni year-on-year — with around 98,900 alimony-related enforcement cases in the Service’s workload.
