Corruption In Hungary Said To Remain Critical
- 20 Jun 2014 9:00 AM
The perception of corruption in Hungary remains high, as 60% of respondents to a recent survey said bribery is common, up from 58% two years ago, according to consultancy Ernst & Young. In Central Europe the corresponding figures were 47% and 51%, respectively.
Only one in five companies in Western Europe reported experiences of corruption.
The report is based on a survey of 2,719 board members and CEOs from 59 countries, including 52 from Hungary.
One of the most acute problems in Hungary is the lack of punishment for those who break corruption rules, said Ernst & Young’s Ferenc Biró.
