National Transparency Authority (NTA) participated in the Global Anti-Corruption & Integrity Forum 2026, the OECD’s leading international event in the field of public integrity. The Forum brought together government officials, representatives of anti-corruption bodies and representatives of civil society. A central highlight of the Forum's agenda was the release of the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Outlook 2026 report. This publication offers a comprehensive overview of the most significant developments and trends in national public integrity and anti-corruption systems.
According to the report’s findings, Greece ranks second among OECD member states and partners in terms of improving the strategic framework for combating corruption. In terms of the quality of planning, the country ranks fifth, while the pace of implementation of the Strategy is the second highest. Special mention is made of the Strategy’s approval by the Council of Ministers and the comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system that supports its implementation.
The country’s progress on critical issues of transparency and public integrity is reflected as follows:
- In lobbying regulation, Greece meets 60% of the regulatory criteria and 56% of the implementation criteria (OECD average: 43% and 38%, respectively)
- In the management of conflicts of interest, 100% of the regulatory criteria are met (OECD average 80%)
- In political party financing, 71% of the implementation criteria are met (OECD average 58%)
- In the disciplinary control of public administration, Greece performs exceptionally well at both the regulatory (83%) and operational levels (100%) (OECD average 66% and 22%, respectively)
The report highlights the following as key institutional and operational safeguards for transparency and accountability:
- A comprehensive framework for asset declarations (“statement of assets”)
- An independent supervisory body for political party financing
- A model internal audit system in the public sector with certified staff
- An “open by default” architecture for public administration data
Finally, special mention is made of the operation of the e-Peitharxika electronic platform, through which the National Transparency Authority monitors all stages of disciplinary proceedings in public administration, ensuring the uniform application of disciplinary law and putting an end to the sense of impunity among corrupt public officials. For the first time, data on pre-disciplinary and disciplinary proceedings are consolidated into a single database, enabling the extraction of statistical data and the making of evidence-based decisions to improve the effectiveness and quality of the administration of disciplinary justice.
The National Transparency Authority maintains and deepens its cooperation with the OECD with the aim of exchanging expertise, incorporating best practices, and highlighting national efforts to prevent and combat corruption and fraud.
