Summary of the Course - Corruption and International Business:

The corruption is one of the worst scourges of our society, affecting both public and private
sector, its effects are devastating: can overthrow countries, distort the market, financing wars,
limit the aid development, erode the democracy and human rights, limiting the investments,
or encourage the organised crime.
The organisations that fight against the corruption (the United Nations - Global Compact,
Transparency International, the World Economic Forum, or the International Chamber of
Commerce) estimates that, globally, corruption could account for 5% of the global GDP (2.6
trillion dollars).
“Corruption undermines the democracy and the rule of law. It leads to violations of the
human rights. It erodes the public trust in the Government. Corruption can even kill.” Ban KiMoon, UN Former Secretary-General.

The World Bank (WB) estimates that the annual global cost of the corruption, that is, what it

costs to all the citizens of the World; it is between $ 1 trillion and $ 1.6 trillion.

Every year the European Union loses 1% of its GDP (120,000 million Euros) for the effects of

The corruption is implicit with the Civilisation, but in this phase of the globalisation and
digitalisation of the economy, instead of being able to find ways and mechanisms that can
override it, corruption has not stopped growing.
There are many initiatives to fight against the corruption: The United Nations (UN), the OECD,
the European Union (EU), or the African Union. All these institutions are developing ethical
codes that seek to alleviate corruption. However, the reality is that despite these mechanisms,
most of them volunteers, the corruption has not been able to be eliminated.
1. In Africa, Strive Masiyiwa is one of the persons who are leading the fight against the
corruption.
Developing such codes is necessary but not sufficient:

Ethics and the legal instruments will be undoubtedly the foundations that will allow us to
eradicate corruption.

“The corruption is not inevitable. It flows from the greed and the triumph of the undemocratic
