What's at stake
Favourable economic conditions and sustainable physical infrastructure are drivers of competitiveness in the global markets – an important prerequisite for the prosperity of nations. Developed regions are faced with the challenge of preserving these positive factors or, as it were, using them more efficiently and effectively. Developing and emerging nations need first to lower the regulatory and bueraucratic obstacles which are causing high costs to the economy, and second create positive conditions. Properly functioning financial and capital markets are part of it: they need to facilitate the efficient allocation of capital.

Relevance for Investors
Corruption within the public sector leads to stagnating education and slower progress. This is as relevant to G20 countries as it is to the developing world. According to former World Bank director Daniel Kaufmann, a 300% development dividend can be generated with good governance and corruption control. Countries that fight corruption and improve legal frameworks will profit from a threefold increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the long run, says Kaufmann. Investing in companies that are active in countries facing corruption problems creates a moral obligation to take responsibility. But investors also profit from a strong future economic development of such markets in the long run.
