Corruption Perceptions Index 2017 | Transparency International

Despite attempts to combat corruption around the world, this year’s Corruption Perceptions Index shows that for the majority of countries, these efforts occur far too slowly. Sadly, in the last six years, many countries have made little to no progress.

The index, which ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption according to experts and businesspeople, uses a scale of zero to 100, where zero is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean. This year, the index found that more than two-thirds of countries score below 50, with an average score of 43.
