Progress Report: Enforcement of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, 2010
29 Jul 2010
TI’s report shows that 7 of the 36 countries evaluated are actively enforcing the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention to which they are party. These countries represent approximately 30 per cent of world exports. One third of world exports come from countries that are not party to the OECD Convention. The increasingly important role played by China, India and Russia in the global economy cannot be ignored.

How can they avoid imposing additional regulatory burdens on businesses coping with the effects of the financial crisis? A good system of regulatory management systematically helps to identify the best choice of policy options. It reduces unnecessary burdens on citizens and businesses and promotes transparency in the design of and access to regulations while protecting health, safety, and the environment.
