Explanatory notes
A more detailed description of the CPI 2003 methodology is available at http://www.transparency.org/cpi/ index.html#cpi or at http://www.gwdg.de/~uwv
A CPI 2003 Score
relates to perceptions of the degree of corruption as seen by business people, academics and risk analysts, and ranges between 10 (highly clean) and 0 (highly corrupt).
A Surveys Used
refers to the number of surveys that assessed a country's performance.
A total of 17 surveys were used from 13 independent institutions, and at least three surveys were required for a country to be included in the CPI.
Standard Deviation
indicates differences in the values of the sources: the greater the standard deviation, the greater the differences of perceptions of a country among the sources.
High-Low Range
provides the highest and lowest values of the different sources.
