Suriname Corruption Report
Last updated:
Snapshot
Corruption is an obstacle to business in Suriname. It is especially prevalent in public procurement, in the awarding of licenses and in the customs sector. Corruption stems from a lack of regulation and legal anti-corruption measures: A legal anti-corruption framework has yet to be discussed in the National Assembly. This creates problems as it increases the risks of corruption across all sectors. Suriname is not a party to the United Nations Convention Against Corruption but has ratified the Inter American Convention Against Corruption.
