Fighting Corruption and Promoting Integrity in Public Procurement
- Share to:
The OECD Global Forum on Governance: Fighting corruption and promoting
integrity in public procurement brought together a broad-based and diversified audience
from all over the world to discuss methods, conditions and approaches to preventing,
detecting, and sanctioning corruption in public procurement–the purchase of goods and
services by central or local governments or by state-owned firms.
Attendees of the Global Forum were welcomed to the Ministry of the Economy,
Finance and Industry of France by François Loos, Minister for Foreign Trade, who
highlighted the ongoing progress both in improving efficiency in public procurement and
enhancing the arsenal of tools to fight corruption. He also emphasised the timeliness of
combining these multidisciplinary efforts. In his opening address Richard Hecklinger,
Deputy Secretary-General of the OECD, noted the widespread recognition of the
detrimental effects of corruption–a pervasive plague that increases costs, distorts
decision-making, undermines economic growth, diverts public funds away from progress
towards important social and economic goals, and undermines trust in public institutions
and in government officials themselves.
