Re: [Assam] From ToI/India world leader in greasing palms

Maybe you don't need to. 

We are in august company - just next to China. And if
you need to explain how the Americans do it worldwide
- when exporting arms, changing governments, laying
oil pipelines etc., doing assasinations (or attempting
to). I guess we are small fry in the business.

It is a good thing!

India world leader in greasing palms

RSS Feeds|  SMS NEWS to  for latest updates

LONDON/NEW DELHI: India doesn't just have loads
of corruption at home, it is also the world
leader in exporting graft.

Months after Transparency International ranked
India as among the more corrupt societies in the
world, the NGO發�s Bribe Payer's Index 2006 shows
that Indian exporters are more willing than their
counterparts from other countries to pay overseas
bribes to secure business, clinch contracts, do
deals and generally get on in the world.

Of the 30 countries surveyed by the index, India
was the worst 發" or most willing to give
發"
followed by China and Russia.

With Brazil also ranking pretty low as the
eighth biggest bribe giver, the BRIC nations 發"
the foursome of Brazil, Russia, India and China
發" predicted to become among the biggest
economies in the world by 2050 發" emerge as
being prepared to do whatever it takes to enhance
their share of the global trade pie.

While this is the third BPI released by
Transparency, after the ones in 1999 and 2002, it
is the first time India has featured in the index.

It was considered too economically insignificant
and lacking global spread and reach in the
earlier rounds. Liaoran Liao, Transparency
International programme coordinator for South
Asia, told  TOI  on Wednesday that it was
definitely bad news for India to make its first
outing on the BPI with a most-corrupt ranking for
its newly jet-setting companies.

"In 1999 and 2002, India was not listed on the
BPI," said Liaoran, "but now India is considered
an emerging economy and an emerging export power,
so the CEOs and MDs ranked its companies."

The newest league table was compiled after
asking 11,000 top business executives in 125
countries to rank foreign companies in order of
their propensity to bribe in the World Economic
Forum's Executive Opinion Survey.

Transparency said the executives ranked India
bottom of the list of 30 countries. The
executives suggested Indians seemed ready to do
business by paying bribes or making extra

payments.

The BPI ranked Swiss companies as least likely
to use brown envelopes and backhanders to get the
job done. No Asian country figures in the list of
the ten cleanest countries. Japan figures
eleventh followed by Singapore.

Hehehe!

 

Thats really bad. Wonder what that tells of us (who came from India). Is it possible to dealienate ourselves from the desh?

Maybe this is one reason that some in Assam want to be a separate desh (of sorts).

 

And how on earth am I going to explain this away to the folks at work?:)

Don't lose any sleep over it. Your colleagues don't read the TOI. :-) And they don't know what BPI means. :-) :-)     Yes, things will be different in sovereign Assam. Haven't you noticed the marked change in Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan after they broke free of soviet control?   How about greasing in Pakistan and Bangladesh? They got separated from India but old practices remain. And the reason?  It is hard to change old practices and systems even in fifty years.

[Assam] From ToI/India world leader in greasing palms

[Chan Mahanta]

What did I tell you :-)?

India world leader in greasing palms
[ 5 Oct, 2006 0031hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]

  LONDON/NEW DELHI: India doesn't just have loads 
of corruption at home, it is also the world 
leader in exporting graft.

  Months after Transparency International ranked 
India as among the more corrupt societies in the 
world, the NGO⤁s Bribe Payer's Index 2006 shows 
that Indian exporters are more willing than their 
counterparts from other countries to pay overseas 
bribes to secure business, clinch contracts, do 
deals and generally get on in the world.

  Of the 30 countries surveyed by the index, India 
was the worst â¤" or most willing to give â¤" 
followed by China and Russia.

  With Brazil also ranking pretty low as the 
eighth biggest bribe giver, the BRIC nations â¤" 
the foursome of Brazil, Russia, India and China 
â¤" predicted to become among the biggest 
economies in the world by 2050 â¤" emerge as 
being prepared to do whatever it takes to enhance 
their share of the global trade pie.

  While this is the third BPI released by 
Transparency, after the ones in 1999 and 2002, it 
is the first time India has featured in the index.

  It was considered too economically insignificant 
and lacking global spread and reach in the 
earlier rounds. Liaoran Liao, Transparency 
International programme coordinator for South 
Asia, told  TOI  on Wednesday that it was 
definitely bad news for India to make its first 
outing on the BPI with a most-corrupt ranking for 
its newly jet-setting companies.

  "In 1999 and 2002, India was not listed on the 
BPI," said Liaoran, "but now India is considered 
an emerging economy and an emerging export power, 
so the CEOs and MDs ranked its companies."

  The newest league table was compiled after 
asking 11,000 top business executives in 125 
countries to rank foreign companies in order of 
their propensity to bribe in the World Economic 
Forum's Executive Opinion Survey.

  Transparency said the executives ranked India 
bottom of the list of 30 countries. The 
executives suggested Indians seemed ready to do 
business by paying bribes or making extra 
payments.

  The BPI ranked Swiss companies as least likely 
to use brown envelopes and backhanders to get the 
job done. No Asian country figures in the list of 
the ten cleanest countries. Japan figures 
eleventh followed by Singapore.
