This assessment received government comments and feedback on the finalised data. These comments have been incorporated into the assessment at the GDI research team’s discretion. Usually the comments received highlight where a bill is in formulation, or has recently passed into law, and this has been missed by the country assessor. Only comments which are grounded in evidence are incorporated into the assessment.
Switzerland
Band
B
Corruption risk
Low
Switzerland faces low corruption risk across its defence institutions, owing to strong parliamentary control over the sector, and effective internal and external scrutiny of military expenditure. Robust and transparent personnel and financial management processes are further safeguards to corruption, although whistleblowing remains an issue as do weak anti-corruption measures for operations.
