Abstract
A large number of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries require offsets compensations for their major international contracts, despite the fact that WTO) / Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) prohibits or strictly limits offsets to prevent distortion of competition and public sector corruption. In that paradoxical context, a significant number of active offsets countries have implemented transparency policies for their offsets requirements. This paper identifies a positive impact of offsets transparency policies on public sector corruption as measured by Transparency International Corruption Perception Index (CPI). Recommendations for active and transparent offsets policies to support ethical economic development are presented in conclusion.
