According to the report by Transparency International, corruption remains a serious issue across all regions of the world, but many countries have experienced positive changes.

It should be noted that the Corruption Perceptions Index is the most widely used global ranking indicator for corruption. It measures the perceived level of corruption in the public sector of each country, based on assessments from experts and business people. The process of calculating the CPI is periodically reviewed to ensure it remains more stable and consistent. The last review was conducted in 2017 by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. Since 2012, CPI scores for each year have been comparable to scores from other years.
