| Description | Slovenia misses out on €3.5bn a year due to corruption, chairman of the country's anti-corruption commission Robert Šumi warned on Monday (6 December).
He made the remarks at a press conference ahead of the UN International Anti-Corruption Day on Thursday.
The impact of corruption on the country is pervasive.
Šumi said that successful prevention would enable better access to health and social services, better education, and more jobs, calculating that this €3.5bn amounts up to 13.5 percent of Slovenia's GDP.
Were it not for these costs, he said, every retiree in the country could receive an additional €460 a month in state pension; every person could receive €1,660 a year in state funding, effectively ending poverty in the country.
Šumi added that anti-corruption rules in the country were "exemplary" - but are not being followed by the countries officials. |
