Overview
The Combating Global Corruption Act of 2025 aims to address corruption in foreign governments by establishing a tiered ranking system based on a country’s efforts to combat corruption. The State Department will annually publish this ranking, categorizing countries as Tier 1 (fully compliant), Tier 2 (making efforts), or Tier 3 (minimal efforts). If a country is ranked in the second or third tier, the U.S. will designate an anti-corruption contact at its embassy to promote good governance. Additionally, the State Department will evaluate foreign persons involved in significant corruption in Tier 3 countries for potential sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, and report on these sanctions to Congress.
