Turkey AssessmentTurkey faces very high corruption risk in its defence sector, which remains extremely opaque and largely exempt from standard transparency and reporting requirements. External oversight is restricted and financial management and procurement processes are secretive, undermining accountability in expenditure. Corruption risk is particularly high on operations, due to very limited anti-corruption safeguards.
