![Page 12: THE 9TH INTERNATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION CONFERENCE GENERAL SECRETARIAT OAS](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032804/56649e4d5503460f94b43a9b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Industrialized Nations:Industrialized Nations: Greater importance attached to the collapse
central planning systems, the opening of new markets, changes in the role of the State and privatization
According to a recent study: Measures that eliminate commercial barriers and privatize state monopolies have opened a new area for international contracts worth more than 200 billion dollars. These contracts will determine who builds the economies of the future.

A Difference: Transnational Bribery
A Study by the Department of Commerce of the United States: between April 1994 and May 1995, American firms have lost around 100 contracts abroad because of bribery by their competitors from other countries. These contracts were worth approximately 45 billion dollars.
