The United States and the Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) contains provisions (Chapter 18 – transparency) that allows parties to incentivize anti-corruption efforts in order to level the playing field by suspending trade benefits under the agreement. Under CAFTA-DR, the countries commit to implementing measures to prevent and counter corruption, including adopting and enforcing laws against bribery, establishing transparent and accountable government procurement processes, and ensuring effective enforcement of anti-corruption measures.
