Progress on the anti-corruption commitments made at the 2016 Summit is continuously monitored.

The UK has made good progress. Since last May, we have for example:

● Established a public central register of beneficial ownership information;

● Introduced Unexplained Wealth Orders and other important anti-corruption measures through the Criminal Finances Act;

● Undergone the first IMF Fiscal Transparency Evaluation for a G7 country; and

● Launched the ‘Contracting 5’ (C5) initiative at the Open Government Partnership Global Summit 2016 with Colombia, France, Mexico, and Ukraine.
