Overview of the Swiss government's strategy to fight corruption

On 25 November 2020, the Swiss government (Federal Council) published a press release confirming the adoption of the first Swiss anti-corruption strategy to be implemented between 2021 and 2024. Although the strategy is directed at the federal administration, it is also intended to have a wider reach within the private sector.

It defines 11 objectives and 42 measures that are to be implemented by 2024 in order to prevent, detect and eradicate corruption in Switzerland. It also addresses international pending issues in the field. It does, therefore, refer to recommendations made by the OECD Working Group and GRECO (the Group of States against Corruption created by the Council of Europe).
