The Transparency International 2008 Bribe Payers Index (BPI) will be released on 09 December, 2008.
The BPI ranks the likelihood of firms from 22 top exporting countries to bribe abroad. These 22 countries account for approximately 75 per cent of total foreign direct investment outflows and export goods worldwide. The Index, last published in 2006, is based on interviews with almost 3.000 senior business executives working in 26 countries.
The 2008 BPI will also include supplementary information on perceptions of corruption across 19 business sectors.
