Bribe payers index


Which country pays the biggest bribes?

It's Russia, followed by China, Mexico and India, according to the latest Transparency International Bribe Payers' Index.

According to the index, Belgian and Canadian companies are the least likely to pay bribes. Dutch and Swiss companies are pretty clean too.

Still, the report suggests other developed economies should not get that sanctimonious. The United States and Australia are right in the middle of the table, suggesting that companies from those places will sling the odd bag of money if it suits them. Clearly, the attempts to rein in bribery are not completely successful.
