GRECO’s 2025 Annual Report urges government leaders to lead by example on integrity, warning that democratic resilience depends on ethical leadership and effective anti-corruption safeguards

The report assesses anti-corruption measures across Europe and the United States, highlighting progress in embedding integrity frameworks while noting that implementation remains slow in some areas. It reports improved implementation of Fifth Round recommendations on central governments and law enforcement, but calls for further reforms on codes of conduct, lobbying transparency, conflicts of interest, asset declarations, access to information and oversight of integrity standards.
