To align the campaign finance framework with international good practice and GRECO recommendations, authorities should address noted gaps and ambiguities. In particular, the authorities could consider establishing periodic, timely and transparent reporting of campaign contributions and expenditures, timely publishing of such reports including before election day, and providing a clear oversight and monitoring mandate to a qualified independent institution. Furthermore, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions for breaches of campaign finance regulations could be introduced.
