Poland needs strategy to meet growing risk of foreign bribery


The current Polish framework for fighting foreign bribery is still inadequate to fully meet foreign bribery risks resulting from Poland’s growing economy, says a new OECD report.

The OECD Working Group on Bribery has just completed its report on Poland’s application of the Convention of Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions and related instruments.

Poland has one of the fastest-growing OECD economies and has experienced a tenfold increase in foreign trade over the last decade. As a result, Polish entrepreneurs may be increasingly exposed to bribery risks in their cross-border business transactions. However, Poland has not successfully prosecuted a case in the twelve and a half years since its foreign bribery offence came into force.
