The Miller & Chevalier 2020 Latin American Corruption Survey-Part 5, 12-Year Retrospective

Welcome to a special five-part podcast series where I take a deep dive into the Miller & Chevalier Chartered Latin American Corruption Survey. Over this five-part series I will visit with firm lawyers James Tillen, Matt Ellis, Alexandra Almonte and Greg Bates. Miller & Chevalier and 14 partner firms have tracked perspectives on anti-corruption issues in the region since 2008. It is the most comprehensive survey on the perception of corruption in Latin America.  This year, 54 percent of survey respondents said corruption is a significant obstacle to doing business – up 10 percent since 2012 – while only 45 percent of respondents believe offenders are likely to be prosecuted, down from 66 percent in 2008. Despite Latin America's anti-corruption progress over the last decade this new survey data reveals corruption risk to be at an all-time high across the region. In this Episode 5, I am joined by James Tillen and Matt Ellis to take a retrospective look back over the 12 years of Miller & Chevalier’s Latin American Corruption Survey. Some of the highlights include: How have the perceptions of corruption changed in the region over the past 10 years? What have been the changes in anti-corruption laws in the region over the past 10 years? What has been the progression of views on corruption related risks to specific countries over the past 10 years?   Miller has 14 partner firms from the region involved in the Survey and we discuss their crucial role in obtaining actionable data.
