Facilitating payments, also known as "grease payments," are small payments made to government officials to expedite or secure routine government actions, such as obtaining permits or processing paperwork. While these payments are generally seen as unethical, they are not considered illegal under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the OECD convention on bribery, provided that they are not made to influence a decision. The exclusion of facilitating payments is controversial, as many argue that they create an uneven playing field for businesses and perpetuate corruption.
