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.
Turkey

E
Corruption risk

Turkey 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.
