Transparency International (TI) has published its 8th annual progress report on enforcement of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (the Convention). The Convention, which was adopted in 1997, requires each of its 39 signatories to make foreign bribery a crime and is a key instrument in curbing the export of corruption, as its signatory countries are responsible for two thirds of world exports and three quarters of foreign investments.
In this briefing we assess the scope of the report, examine TI's findings and consider the recommendations made by TI to improve enforcement of the Convention.
