Solution

Question: The key difference between a bribe and a facilitation payment is a similarity of intentions and effects. True or false

Answer: The answer to the above statement is True. Wether the payment is a bribe or a facilitation payment depends on the intention of both parties and what is the end effect of the same. Many times a payment might have to be made to enable the other party to get the job done as they might be facing a cash crunch and might not be able to make payments to start the work. In this case, if the payment is made it is not a bribe. However, if the other party is well settled and facing no problem but still it is asking for a payment to do a job then it is a bribe.
