Transparency International also drew links between Covid-19 and corruption, noting that Asian governments responded to the pandemic by rolling out some of the world's biggest economic recovery plans.
"Wrongdoing in emergency procurement has led to price inflating, the theft of medical supplies and sales of counterfeit medicines and materials.Transparency International said countries in the Asia Pacific region have made great strides in controlling bribery for public services, but added that its average score of 45 on the CPI"shows much more needs to be done to solve the region's corruption problems".
It said some of the mechanisms that could help reign in corruption in India, which scored 40 points on the CPI, are weakening with concerns over the country's democratic status. But it added:"Chinese President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption rhetoric and clampdown on brazen forms of corruption that deter economic growth has shown some success, but new forms have emerged as high level powers use their powers to redistribute assets among themselves and other elites."
Surely we can do better.
