After a first discussion in 2011 on Collusion and Corruption in Public Procurement, the 2014 Global Forum on Competition discussed how anti-competitive behaviour and corruption interact through the corruption of business licensing processes or other types of regulation to restrict entry. More general links between corruption and anti-competitive behaviour were addressed such as public and judicial attitudes to these two abuses, as well as the links between institutions engaged in fighting them.
Participants shared relevant cases from their own jurisdictions and also any formal or informal agreements with anti-corruption institutions.
Issues discussed included:
- How do we define corruption?
- What factors favour the emergence or persistence of corruption?
- What are the policy levers to limit or eradicate corruption?
- How does the development of a competition policy help in the fight against corruption?
