Country Facts: Statistical context for each country.
Turkey lags far behind other European nations in terms of its governance and anti-corruption framework. Government accountability (executive, legislative, judicial), and the civil service are all rated as weak or very weak. There is no established mechanism in Turkey which allows citizens to access the asset disclosure forms of chief executives, legislators, national judges and civil servants. Moreover, insufficient legislative oversight on the budget process widens the loopholes in government accountability mechanisms. Positive news includes an active civil society and a generally effective freedom of information process.
