Transparency International (Corruption Perceptions Index)

The Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is a tool that measures how much public perception exists about corruption in a country's government and institutions. It is based on surveys and expert assessments, ranking countries from least to most corrupt. A higher score indicates lower perceived corruption and better integrity, while a lower score suggests higher corruption levels. The CPI helps people understand the integrity of institutions worldwide and encourages countries to improve transparency, accountability, and governance. It is widely used by policymakers, businesses, and civil society to track progress and promote anti-corruption efforts.
