The latest survey of corruption in Mongolia, jointly
conducted by the Asia Foundation and the Sant Maral Foundation, found that
while the number of households that gave a bribe in the last three months has
fallen, the amount paid in bribes has increased. The survey of a random sample
covering thousands of citizens  was made in September and October.

It reveals that 13% of all households gave MNT38.8 billion as bribes. Over four
years of the survey, the maximum percentage of households saying they paid a
bribe was 28 in September, 2008.
