The BPI 2006 is a ranking of 30 leading exporting countries according to the propensity of their firms to bribe abroad. This survey looks at the use of bribes by companies with headquarters in 30 of the world’s leading exporting countries (either in global or regional terms). It is based on two questions asked of 11,232 business executives from companies in 125 countries, who are surveyed about the business practices of foreign firms in their country. To assess the international supply-side of bribery, executives are asked about the propensity of the foreign firms that do the most business in their country to make undocumented extra payments or bribes. The survey is anonymous.
