# Exporting Corruption? Country enforcement of the OECD anti-bribery convention, progress report 2012 URL: https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/exporting-corruption-country-enforcement-of-the-oecd-anti-bribery-conventio Type: Publication or report Published: 2012-09-06 Updated: 2020-10-13 --- 06 September 2012 This is the eighth annual progress report on OECD Convention enforcement by Transparency International. The OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, adopted in 1997, requires each signatory country to make foreign bribery a crime. It is a key instrument for curbing the export of corruption globally because the 39 signatory countries are responsible for two-thirds of world exports and three-quarters of foreign investment. The OECD Working Group on Bribery conducts a follow-up monitoring programme which reviews the parties’ implementation of the Convention’s provisions. Nine to ten country reviews are issued each year.Our annual progress reports represent an independent assessment of the status of OECD Convention enforcement, based on reports from our national chapters in 37 OECD Convention countries (excluding Iceland and Russia). Countries are classified in four enforcement categories this year: Active, Moderate, Little and No enforcement. ### Related publications ## [Regional Assessment of Integrity in Political Finance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/integrity-political-finance-asia) Publication • 03 September 2026 This report reviews systems across 17 countries to identify the areas of political finance most in need of reform. ## [Whistleblowing Authorities in Europe: Roles, challenges and lessons learned](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/whistleblowing-authorities-in-europe-roles-challenges-and-lessons-learned) Publication • 19 June 2026 This report examines the institutional design, mandates and functioning of national whistleblowing authorities across Europe. ## [Strengthening Public Oversight: Good practices for partnerships between civil society and supreme audit institutions](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/strengthening-public-oversight-good-practices-for-partnerships-between-civil-society-and-supreme-audit-institutions) Publication • 29 May 2026 Stronger collaboration between Supreme Audit Institutions and Civil Society Organisations is needed for better public financial oversight. ## [Closing the Gaps: Detecting and investigating corrupt money flows in the Middle East and North Africa](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/closing-the-gaps-middle-east-and-north-africa) Publication • 13 May 2026 Corruption and illicit financial flows remain serious and ongoing challenges across the Middle East and North Africa. ## Priorities - [Foreign bribery enforcement](https://www.transparency.org/en/our-priorities/foreign-bribery-enforcement) ## Countries - [Argentina](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/argentina) - [Australia](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/australia) - [Austria](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/austria) - [Belgium](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/belgium) - [Brazil](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/brazil) - [Bulgaria](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/bulgaria) - [Canada](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/canada) - [Chile](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/chile) - [Czech Republic](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/czech-republic) - [Denmark](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/denmark) - [Estonia](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/estonia) - [Finland](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/finland) - [France](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/france) - [Germany](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/germany) - [Greece](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/greece) - [Hungary](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/hungary) - [Ireland](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/ireland) - [Israel](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/israel) - [Italy](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/italy) - [Japan](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/japan) - [Luxembourg](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/luxembourg) - [Mexico](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/mexico) - [Netherlands](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/netherlands) - [Norway](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/norway) - [Poland](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/poland) - [Portugal](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/portugal) - [Slovakia](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/slovakia) - [Slovenia](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/slovenia) - [South Africa](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/south-africa) - [South Korea](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/south-korea) - [Spain](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/spain) - [Sweden](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/sweden) - [Switzerland](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/switzerland) - [Türkiye](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/t%C3%BCrkiye) - [United Kingdom](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/united-kingdom) - [United States](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/united-states) ## Projects - [Strengthening enforcement of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention](https://www.transparency.org/en/projects/strengthening-enforcement-of-the-oecd-anti-bribery-convention-1) ![](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/2012_ExportingCorruption_OECDProgress_EN_116.jpg?auto=compress&fit=crop&fm=webp&w=1200) [Download](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/2012_ExportingCorruption_OECDProgress_EN.pdf)
