Global Corruption Index

The Global Corruption Index measures how widespread and severe corruption is in countries around the world. It evaluates factors like government transparency, bribery, abuse of power, and public sector integrity. A higher corruption score indicates more corruption, which can hinder economic growth, justice, and trust in institutions. Conversely, lower scores suggest cleaner governments with better accountability. This index helps compare countries’ governance quality and encourages efforts to improve transparency and reduce corruption for better societal outcomes.
