Corruption Perceptions Index 2020

The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) scores 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, according to experts and business people.

This year’s CPI paints a grim picture of the state of corruption worldwide. While most countries have made little to no progress in tackling corruption in nearly a decade, more than two-thirds of countries score below 50.

Our analysis shows corruption not only undermines the global health response to COVID-19, but contributes to a continuing crisis of democracy.
