The judiciary is perceived to be the institution in Bulgaria most affected by corruption, according to Transparency International’s annual Global Corruption Barometer.
In second place was Parliament, followed by other public institutions. According to the survey, only five per cent of Bulgarians admitted to having paid a bribe in 2008. Overall, the survey found that more than half of those polled in all countries believed that the private sector used bribes to influence public policy, laws and regulations. The survey found that half of respondents expressed a willingness to pay a premium to buy from corruption-free companies. However, this was not the case in Bulgaria. "These results show a public sobered by a financial crisis precipitated by weak regulations and a lack of corporate accountability," said Transparency International chairperson Huguette Labelle. "But we also see that the public is willing to actively support clean business. What is needed now is bold action by companies to continue strengthening their policies and practices, and to report more transparently on finances and interactions with government." The Barometer, with more than 73 000 respondents drawn from 69 countries and territories around the world, also found the poor to be disproportionately burdened by bribe demands. And it found that government efforts to combat corruption are generally perceived as ineffective, in addition to high levels of perceived corruption in political parties, parliaments and the civil service. The business-related findings of the Barometer send a powerful signal to the private sector and provide yet another incentive - in addition to the legal, reputational and financial risks of corruption- for companies to prove that they are clean and to communicate this clearly to the public, Transparency International said. In Cambodia, Hong Kong, Liberia and Sierra Leone, as many as four in five respondents said they would pay a premium for products and services from corruption-free companies. Asked specifically how corrupt they perceived different domestic institutions to be, half of respondents said they saw the private sector as corrupt, an increase of eight percentage points over five years ago. And in roughly a fifth of the countries and territories surveyed, including countries home to some of the world’s major financial centres, such as Hong Kong, Luxembourg and Switzerland, respondents identified the private sector as the most corrupt institution. "Companies must engage meaningfully with the reporting frameworks and anti-corruption codes now available and begin applying these in earnest, reporting clearly and honestly about their efforts, and benchmarking their policies and practices," said Robin Hodess, director of Policy and Research at Transparency International. The 2009 Barometer shows that the poorest families continue to be punished by petty bribe demands. Across the board, low-income respondents were more likely to be met with bribe demands than high-income respondents. Additionally, petty bribery was found to be on the rise in Venezuela, Ghana, Indonesia, Cambodia, Bolivia, Senegal, Russia and Kenya, compounding the already difficult situation of low-income households, as jobs and income dwindle in the economic downturn.
