Corruption remains a significant challenge for many countries, particularly for developing and underdeveloped nations. Bangladesh, being a developing country, has faced its share of corruption over the years, which continues to hinder its growth and development.

In response to this, Bangladesh has established several legal frameworks to combat corruption. Key legal instruments include the Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2004, Anti-Corruption Commission Rules 2007, Anti-Corruption Commission Rules 2007 (Amendment), Anti-Corruption Guideline 2011, Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012, Money Laundering Prevention Rules 2019, and others.
