World Bank Governance Data

The World Bank would like to draw your attention to new initiatives on governance data (featured in a new online inventory of datasets) and assessing and addressing corruption (view the homepage of the

World Bank's external website for the ongoing April highlight on fighting corruption).

The new anti-corruption platform targets, among other things, extortion and bribery. According to World Bank estimates, there were some US trillion in bribes alone in 2003 in developed and developing

countries.
