Business Corruption in Niger

Corruption represents a high risk for businesses in Niger, mostly due to low salaries and weak administrative controls. Corruption is especially rampant in the police and the judiciary, negatively impacting the administration of public services and land. The government of Mahamadou Issoufou has committed to actively address corruption and has made some progress in this regard. Despite high levels of corruption, surveys indicate trust in the government and its institutions. Nigerien anti-corruption legislation is weak, underdeveloped, and poorly enforced. Niger has accessed the United Nations Convention against Corruption and is on its way to aligning its legislation.
