Keywords:
corruption, economic costs, transparencyAbstract
The article examines corruption as an economic problem that undermines public trust in the state, increases the cost of public services, and slows the pace of development. Drawing on the experiences of Estonia, the Republic of Korea, and Singapore, as well as the practice of Uzbekistan, it demonstrates how digital technologies, open data, and public oversight can reduce corruption risks. It is emphasized that combating corruption is a shared responsibility of both the state and society, including the academic community and students.
