#BridgeGap #AntiCorruption #Transparency #PoliticalFinance

Why measuring transparency isn’t as simple as it sounds – and how BridgeGap is changing that When we talk about accountability and anti-corruption, one word shows up again and again: transparency. But here’s the problem: for years, researchers have struggled to measure transparency in a meani...

This new article explains how the #BridgeGap project tackles that challenge by looking at:

🟦 de jure transparency ▶️ what the law requires
🟦 de facto transparency ▶️ what citizens can actually find online

It examines how integrity frameworks operate and sometimes fail, across five high-risk sectors: defence, critical infrastructure, healthcare, sport, and banking.

Wishing our community a restful holiday break.

Welcome back. In this long hot European summer the pace of news has not had its traditional holiday lull. For that we have to thank Donald Trump and his penchant for late-night policy shifts. This week, however, I want to take you away from the frontline of the tariff wars to Romania, a country with a number of salient lessons for Europe today on leadership and populism. It is also a place close to my heart; I started out as a journalist there in the aftermath of the 1989 Christmas revolution.

@financialtimes.com’s Europe Express Weekend cites #BridgeGap data: 🇷🇴 Romania has lost more to corruption in the last decade than any other EU country. As PI Alina Mungiu-Pippidi notes, corruption erodes trust and fuels #populism across #Europe.
