Portugal AssessmentPortugal faces high levels of corruption risk across its defence sector. Financial management suffers from a lack of transparency, undermining oversight and accountability in defence expenditure, while safeguards to corruption are non-existent for military operations. However, personnel management and policy-making are regulated by more robust governance mechanisms.
