Partners call for strengthening efforts to combat commercial fraud and control violations and fictitious entities.

The “Partners for Transparency” Foundation issued its monthly report, “Corruption Logbook for November 2025,” which monitored 75 corruption incidents in various sectors, recording a relative decline of 17.58% compared to last October.

The report showed that the supply sector continued to top the list of the most corrupt sectors for the fifth consecutive month with a rate of 33.33%, followed by the local government and administrative corruption sector with a rate of 24%, then the financial and banking sector with a rate of 20%, then the education sector with a rate of 13.33%, and finally the health sector with a rate of 9.33%.

Cairo Governorate came in first place for the eleventh consecutive month with a percentage of 29.33% of the total incidents monitored, followed by Qalyubia with a percentage of 13.33%, then Kafr El Sheikh with a percentage of 8%. These governorates together constituted about 50.66% of the total incidents of corruption during the month.

The report noted an expansion of oversight activity during November, with regulatory and security agencies conducting more than 25 inspection campaigns in the food supply sector, 15 campaigns to combat money laundering and embezzlement, and 9 campaigns to shut down unlicensed and fraudulent educational entities. The month also saw court rulings imposing prison sentences and fines on government employees and officials in cases related to bribery, embezzlement, and forgery. Parliament, however, did not record any oversight or legislative activity related to combating corruption due to the conclusion of its session.

The report recommended intensifying market oversight to curb commercial fraud, tightening control over the financial sector using artificial intelligence technologies, restricting the operation of unlicensed educational and medical entities, expediting the issuance of the Local Government Law, enacting legislation to protect whistleblowers, and launching community awareness campaigns to promote a culture of integrity and transparency.
