The OECD will release the second edition of the Anti-Corruption and Integrity Outlook on Tuesday 24 March, starting at 09:45 CET (08:45 GMT).
The report will be presented by OECD Director for Public Governance Elsa Pilichowski, as part of the 2026 OECD Global Anti-Corruption & Integrity Forum, opened by OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann.
The Outlook:
- Assesses anti-corruption and integrity regulations and implementation in 62 countries, with individual country notes based on the latest data from the OECD Public Integrity Indicators;
- Provides recommendations to remedy gaps in integrity systems;
- Highlights evolving corruption risk areas, including fraud, public procurement and organised crime.
The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion, The Integrity Advantage, on how strong integrity measures can protect against corruption, support economic growth and improve trust in public institutions. Journalists are invited to follow the webcast of the Outlook launch and panel discussion by registering online.
Media requests to receive the Anti-Corruption and Integrity Outlook 2026 under embargo prior to release should be sent by email to embargo@oecd.org. Journalists requesting an electronic version and accompanying data files in advance of the release time agree to respect OECD embargo conditions. The report will be available in English, French and Spanish.
The Outlook launch takes place during the 2026 OECD Global Anti-Corruption & Integrity Forum, from 23-27 March. This year's Forum will examine how strong enforcement, sound governance, as well as data-driven and agile integrity systems can prevent fraud, improve decision-making, and foster environments where ethical business and resilient economic growth can thrive. It will spotlight innovative strategies to show how fighting corruption can directly support economic efficiency, investor confidence and long-term value creation for all.
