(1) The United States is the world’s largest 
consumer of oil. The United States accounts for 25 
percent of global daily oil demand—despite having 
less than 3 percent of the world’s proven reserves. 
(2) 6 of the top 10 suppliers of United States 
crude oil imports rank in the bottom third of the 
world’s most corrupt countries, according to Trans-
parency International. 
(3) Corrupt and non-transparent foreign gov-
ernments have a much higher risk of instability and 
violent unrest, often leading to disruptions of energy 
supplies. In addition, the citizens of such countries 
often remain impoverished despite significant re-
source wealth. 
(4) Oil is a fungible commodity. Therefore sup-
ply disruptions due to political instability in other 
parts of the world affect United States domestic 
price and supply regardless of the source of supply. 
(5) Transparency in extractive revenue trans-
actions is important to decreasing corruption and in-
creasing energy security. 
(6) The Extractive Industries Transparency 
Initiative (EITI) serves to improve investment cli-
mates through the audited disclosure of revenue pay-
ments.
