Abstract
Controlling corruption is an essential
part of good governance, and poverty reduction, and it poses
an enormous challenge for governments around the world. This
report analyzes patterns, and trends in corruption in
business-government interactions in the transition economies
of Central and Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union.
It points to some encouraging signs that the magnitude, and
negative impact that corruption exerts on business, may be
declining in many countries in the region. It also shows how
some types of firms - most notably small private ones -
encounter more corruption than others, and it underscores
the importance of policy, and institutional reforms in
achieving long-term success in the fight against corruption.
The longer-term sustainability of recent improvements is not
certain, however, and the challenges ahead remain formidable.
