The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) commended the serious and diligent steps taken by the Iraqi government in combating corruption and recovering assets. UN officials highlighted the importance of bridging the gap between proven cases and civil lawsuits, reaffirming their ongoing support for Iraqi institutions through technical assistance and legal reforms. Data showed a notable improvement in Iraq's ranking on the Corruption Perceptions Index over the past decade. The UNDP emphasized the need to continue this approach to enhance public services and attract investment, warning of the broad developmental and economic repercussions of corruption locally and globally.
