On 10 February 2026, Transparency International ("TI") published the Corruption Perceptions Index 2025 ("CPI"). The CPI is the most widely used indicator of corruption worldwide, and this year covers 182 countries with the inclusion of Belize and Brunei Darussalam. It scores and ranks countries/territories based on how corrupt a country's public sector is perceived to be by experts and business executives.
Based on data from 13 independent sources, a country/territory's score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0-100, where 0 means that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and 100 means that a country is perceived as very clean. A country's rank indicates its position relative to the other countries/territories included in the index. For a country/territory to be included in the ranking, it must feature in a minimum of three of the CPI's data sources.
