Exporting corruption: Progress report 2013: assessing enforcement of the OECD Convention on combating bribery

Transparency International’s ninth annual progress report on foreign bribery enforcement presents an independent assessment on the status of enforcement in all of the 40 Parties to the Convention, including Russia and Colombia, where the Convention entered into force in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The OECD Working Group on Bribery also publishes data on enforcement by the Parties in its annual reports. Results of the two reports are basically similar – both indicate that in half of the countries there is little or no enforcement against foreign bribery and show that Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States have the most active enforcement.
