Business Corruption in Slovakia

Slovakia flag, corruptionCorruption is a problem for businesses operating in Slovakia. Companies cite the lack of transparency and inefficient government bureaucracy as the largest impediments to business. The Slovak Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Specialised Criminal Act provide for the criminalisation of most forms of corruption, including active and passive bribery, bribery of foreign officials and extortion. However, insufficient law enforcement negatively affects foreign companies in Slovakia. Companies report the possibility of facilitation payments and bribes in the customs, public utilities, public procurement and judicial sectors. Facilitation payments and gifts are illegal under Slovak law.
