Peru: Adhesions to OECD will strengthen fight against corruption, tax evasion

16:54 | Paris (France), May. 28.

The adhesions to the recently-signed OECD conventions are two very important steps in the fight against corruption and tax evasion, Economy and Finance Minister David Tuesta affirmed Monday.

Via Twitter, the cabinet member indicated that joining these OECD conventions is also essential for a possible future accession to this body as a full member.

As is known, Economy-Finance Minister David Tuesta and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Secretary-General Angel Gurria signed the Anti-Bribery Convention today.

Thus, Peru becomes the 44th signatory country of this agreement which contributes to fighting corruption involving public officials in international business transactions.

It must be noted the convention will take effect in the Inca country within the next 60 days.
