Vietnam’s Inclusion on the EU Non-Cooperative Tax Jurisdictions List
In February 2026, the Council of the European Union updated its official list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes, a tool designed to combat global tax evasion and promote fair governance. The latest revision notably added Vietnam and the Turks and Caicos Islands to the "blacklist" due to deficiencies in their transparency and information exchange frameworks. Conversely, Fiji, Samoa, and Trinidad and Tobago were removed from the list after successfully implementing required legislative reforms. Vietnam has since defended its record, highlighting ongoing efforts to align its domestic laws with OECD standards to maintain a stable investment climate. Jurisdictions remaining on this list face significant consequences, including increased financial scrutiny, restricted access to EU funds, and potential domestic defensive tax measures imposed by individual member states. These updates reflect the EU’s biannual monitoring process, which encourages third countries to adopt international tax good governance and anti-fraud practices.

Global Corruption Perceptions and the Decline of Institutional Integrity
The 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index reveals a global decline in public sector integrity, with the worldwide average dropping to its lowest level in over a decade. While Denmark continues to lead as the world's cleanest nation, established democracies like the United Kingdom and the United States have reached record-low scores due to political scandals and weakened oversight. In contrast, Estonia has emerged as a top performer by successfully consolidating its anti-corruption frameworks. The sources highlight how "cash-for-access" ventures and the influence of "big money" in politics undermine trust in government institutions. Furthermore, the reports warn that the erosion of justice systems, media freedom, and civic space directly fuels systemic bribery and state capture. Ultimately, these findings suggest that accountable leadership and independent checks are essential to prevent corruption from becoming a permanent feature of political culture.
