Graft fear for B1.97tn virus aid. “Thailand's 1.97 trillion baht plan to mitigate against a further economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic has raised concerns over the potential for embezzlement as large sums of money change hands between the government, businesses and local villages.”
The lessons Portugal could learn from Singapore in the fight against corruption (Opinion). “Portugal is ranked the 31st least corrupt country out of 180 countries and territories. While less corrupt than the likes of Israel, South Korea, Italy and Greece, Portugal is viewed as having a bigger problem than countries such as Hong Kong, Estonia, Bhutan and Chile. Germany is ninth, the UK 12th and France 23rd. But how serious a problem is corruption to an economy?”
