TI: Hungary Shows “Limited Enforcement” of Anti-Bribery Convention

Budapest (MTI) – Hungary was ranked among countries with “limited enforcement” of anti-bribery measures in a report published by Transparency International on Thursday.

The anti-graft watchdog examines each year how 41 signatories to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, adopted in 1997, fare in enforcing the measures which strive to make foreign bribery a crime. Several members of the G20 group of rich countries do “little or nothing” to observe the convention’s goals, TI said.

The top group of performers showing “active enforcement” included only four countries: the US, Germany, the UK and Switzerland. The next group of countries were labelled “moderate” in their enforcement and the third group, in which Hungary was ranked, “limited”. This group also contained France, Sweden, Norway and New Zealand.
