On May 3rd, 2017, the B20 officially handed over its Policy Recommendations to German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin. The anti-corruption recommendations include calls to establish beneficial ownership transparency, as well as to recognise corporate compliance efforts, as the Chair Klaus Moosmayer said "combatting corruption must be a joint effort that addresses both the supply and the demand sides of corruption.”

Finally the Working Group called for enhanced responsible business conduct in infrastructure projects in order to increase transparency and accountability at all stages of the project cycle in order to mitigate the risk of corruption and increase efficiency.
