  • The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) table shows a country's ranking and score, the number of surveys used to determine the score, and the confidence range of the scoring.

  • The rank shows how one country compares to others included in the index. The CPI score indicates the perceived level of public-sector corruption in a country/territory.

  • The CPI is based on 13 independent surveys. However, not all surveys include all countries. The surveys used column indicates how many surveys were relied upon to determine the score for that country.

  • The confidence range indicates the reliability of the CPI scores and tells us that allowing for a margin of error, we can be 90% confident that the true score for this country lies within this range.

Interactive World Map

The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) published by Transparency International measures the perceived levels of public-sector corruption in a given country.

 

It is a composite index drawing on different expert and business surveys. The scale is from zero (perceived to be highly corrupt) to ten (perceived to be highly clean). Click on the interactive map below to launch it in a full-screen window, showing individual country scores as well as confidence intervals.

 

The darker the blue, the higher the perceived level of public sector corruption.
