The Corruption Perception Index (CPI) – a list of the world’s most and least corrupt countries – for 2017 has just been released and it’s not looking good.
The index by Transparency International, which ranks 180 countries by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, uses a score of zero to 100.
The closer the score is to 100, the better a job the country is doing at preventing corruption, while a score below 50 suggests that a country has a serious problem.
New Zealand tops the index, while the Nordic nations – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden – shine. But, disturbingly, two-thirds of countries scored below 50, with an average score of 43.
