The SB was not fully implemented due to legal impediments. The Leadership Code Regulations have been amended in September 2022 to include assets that are beneficially owned in the declaration. Given the criticality of the measure to the program’s objectives, a prior action was set on the publication of information on statistics of timely submission of declarations by leaders, applications to access the declarations, and names of sanctioned leaders (Table 2a).
