In the area of the relevant anti-corruption legislation, the Constitution of the Arab Republic

of Egypt was promulgated in 2014 containing the State›s commitment to combating

corruption and affirming the technical, financial and administrative independence

of the oversight bodies. In the same year, the Anti-Money-Laundering Law was amended

and all relevant authorities shall report suspected cases of money-laundering offenses.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the socio-economic problems that it has triggered have

demonstrated the dire need for international cooperation to strengthen the measures

necessary to prevent and combat corruption in times of crisis and disaster and recovery.
