Corruption risk

Downloads
Corruption risk is moderate in Sweden’s defence sector. Strong financial transparency and robust policy-making processes, involving sustained external oversight, reduce corruption risk. However, transparency and oversight in defence procurement is limited and issues around industry influence and offsets remain unresolved. Corruption risk is also extremely high for military operations.
