IMF urges measures / India political raids / Pakistan NAB prosecutor

IMF Encourages Tackling Corruption to Promote Growth.  An IMF report calls for governments to combat instances of national companies bribing officials in other countries, to be aggressive in anti-money laundering efforts, and to reduce the number of ways individuals or companies can use opaque methods to hide the gains of their corruption. It particularly cites the need to increase transparency in sectors such as oil and mining, where companies often operate abroad.
