Subject: [AI] Fwd: Term of the Day: Facilitating Payment
Definition of 'Facilitating Payment'
A financial payment that may constitute a bribe and that is made with
the intention of expediting an administrative process. A facilitating
payment is a payment made to a public or government official that acts
as incentive for the official to complete some action or process
expeditiously, to the benefit of the party making the payment.In
general, a facilitating payment is made to smooth the progress of a
service to which the payer is legally entitled, without making such a
payment. In some countries, these payments are considered normal,
whereas in other countries, facilitating payments are prohibited by
law and considered bribes. Also called facilitation payments.
Investopedia Says
Investopedia explains 'Facilitating Payment'
Generally, facilitating payments are demanded by low-level, low-income
officials in exchange for providing a service to which the payer is
entitled even without the payment. Certain countries do not consider
facilitating payments bribes as long as such payment is not made to
earn or maintain business, or to create an unfair or improper
advantage over another business. Such countries may believe these
payments are simply a part of the cost of doing business. In other
countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany, facilitating
payments made abroad are considered bribes and are prohibited.An
example of a facilitating payment may be illustrated in the following
scenario. Assume a business required a particular license or permit in
order to operate. The company is entitled to the license or permit
because it has met all the requirements. The business is otherwise
poised to open its doors for business, but is legally bound to wait
until the license or permit has been issued. The company may make a
facilitating payment to an official who can help expedite the
licensing or permitting process. In many countries, this payment would
be acceptable as long as it does not involve a payment made to a
foreign entity. In other countries, this would still be considered a
bribe (and thus illegal).The United Nations Convention against
Corruption (UNCAC) prohibits facilitation payments. The legal status
of facilitating payments varies by country. The Business
Anti-Corruption Portal maintains information regarding different
countries' profiles regarding corruption, bribes and facilitating
payments.
