09/08/2018 - Corruption is one of the main obstacles to carrying out long-awaited reforms of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Ukraine, according to a new OECD report. SOEs make up a substantial part of the Ukrainian economy, provide key public services, and represent the largest employer in the country. However, most operate at a loss and the biggest are mired in corruption and political graft scandals.

07/08/2018 - Kyrgyzstan has recently adopted important legislative reforms, in particular with regard to the civil service, conflict of interests and asset disclosure mechanisms, as well as the criminalisation of corruption. However, most of the new measures have yet to be implemented in practice and have not had a significant impact on reducing corruption, according to a new OECD report.
