Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI)

The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is a global measurement that ranks countries based on how corrupt their public sectors are perceived to be. Developed by Transparency International, it uses surveys and expert assessments to assign a score from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates a very high level of corruption and 100 signals a very clean government. The CPI helps compare the perceived integrity of governments worldwide, guiding policymakers, investors, and citizens in understanding the corruption landscape and its impact on society and economic development.
