How and to what extent do corruption and a lack of transparency in public life impede economic and social development, lead to the waste of public funds and erode public trust?
There are many indications that corruption and a lack of transparency in public life are serious problems that hinder economic and social development, lead to the waste of public funds and erode social trust. Corruption, i.e. the abuse of public power for private gain, occurs at various levels of government and affects both the public and private sectors. Lack of transparency, i.e. the concealment of information on decisions made and public funds spent, encourages corruption and hinders public scrutiny. An effective solution to this problem requires strengthening state institutions, enforcing the law, promoting transparency in public life and fighting corruption at all levels. Research plays an important role in solving this problem by providing the knowledge and analysis necessary to develop effective strategies.

I think it depends on whom they ask. I just think that some people who are bereaucrats and elites could not care less about it. Of course, many factors come into play. Just generally speaking.
La corrupción y la falta de transparencia en la vida pública son obstáculos mayores para el desarrollo económico y social. Estas prácticas desvían recursos cruciales, desalientan la inversión y erosionan la confianza en las instituciones. Económicamente, reducen el crecimiento y su eficacia. Socialmente,hacen que aumenten los estratos sociales favoreciendo la desigualdad la desigualdad y empobreciendo los servicios públicos. Además, frenan el desarrollo sostenible, debilitan la democracia y pueden fomentar la inestabilidad política y el crimen organizado debido a la decepción de la ciudadanía.
La corrupción además de ser un acto ilegal que debería de conllevar la dimisión de quienes lo llevan a cabo, provoca indignación por parte de la población, quién con muchísimo esfuerzo trabajan para vivir, tener un bienestar y condición de vida digna, si actos como estos no son corregidos la situación social y económica de un país se acabaría hundiendo y todo por lo que hemos luchado para conseguir lo que hoy en día tenemos como puede ser anidad, educación pública (en España) entre otras cosas sería en vano.
Corruption and lack of transparency in public affairs significantly hinder economic and social progress by compromising governance, eroding trust, and distorting resource distribution. Corruption directly reduces GDP growth rates and investment volumes by creating an environment where enterprises face high costs and uncertainties. It also skews the allocation of public resources, leading to mismanagement and inefficiencies in sectors like education and infrastructure. Corruption also leads to misallocation of resources, redirecting public finances from essential services to bribery opportunities, compromising the quality of public services and increasing business costs. It also undermines the tax framework, facilitating tax evasion and diminishing governmental revenues, which can constrain public investment in social programs. The absence of transparency creates a distrust among citizens towards governing bodies, undermining the rule of law and threatening the rule of law. Corruption disproportionately impacts the economically disadvantaged, intensifying income inequality and perpetuating poverty. Transparency is crucial for mitigating corruption, as mechanisms like open data policies, independent audits, and public engagement in decision-making can cultivate a culture of accountability. Transparent governance fosters investment and social development by enhancing access to vital services like healthcare and education. Addressing these challenges through improved transparency and accountability is essential for cultivating sustainable development.
