Korruption är ett globalt och frekvent förekommande problem. Genom nationella rättsakter med långtgående extraterritoriell jurisdiktion som till exempel amerikanska The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, bekämpas korruption numera på ett gränsöverskridande tillvägagångssätt.

Prisutvecklingen på bostäder i Sverige har under lång tid varit en framgångssaga för säljare. Med låga räntor, stor efterfrågan och begränsat utbud har priserna stigit. Sedan hösten 2017 har en oro utvecklats på bostadsmarknaden. Priserna sjunker, efterfrågan minskar och byggföretag får svårare att sälja sina nyproducerade bostäder, vilket i förlängningen kan leda till minskad bostadsproduktion.
