Foreign bribery and OECD countries: a hollow commitment?


Transparency International (TI) will, on 23 June, publish its 2009 Progress Report on the OECD Anti-bribery Convention, a report assessing the extent to which 36 signatory states are enforcing the ban on foreign bribery by companies based in their countries. These countries account for the majority of global exports and foreign investment.

The fifth annual report also includes major non-OECD exporters China, India and Russia. Case studies of recent investigations and prosecutions involving bribery schemes by major corporations are highlighted as well.
