Brazil faces moderate levels of corruption risk in its defence sector. Institutional resilience to corruption is strongest in personnel management and finances, where anti-corruption safeguards are robust. However, limited external scrutiny and poor transparency increase corruption risk related to policymaking and procurement, while military operations are particularly vulnerable to corruption.
