Unveiling the 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index: Where Does India Stand?


What's The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) ?

    Transparency International published the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) for 2023 in January 2024. According to the CPI, 180 nations and territories are ranked according to how corrupt the public sector is thought to be, with a score ranging from 0 (extremely corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

Somalia - 11

    This score is consistent with the stagnant trend seen in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the majority of the countries make little or no headway in the battle against corruption.The low score indicates serious deficiencies in governance and pervasive corruption in the public sector, both of which negatively affect the lives of regular inhabitants.

Venezuela - 13

    Like the other nations at the bottom of the ranking, this score suggests that public sector corruption is widely believed to exist in Venezuela. Proliferate corruption has the potential to seriously impede economic growth, restrict access to necessary services, and erode public confidence in the government.

Syria - 13

    Based on this score, it can be inferred that public sector corruption is common in Syria. Syrias protracted civil war has severely undermined institutions and given rise to corruption possibilities. The Syrian administration has come under fire for lacking accountability and transparency, which makes it more difficult to fight corruption.

South Sudan - 13

    This score presents a worrisome image of the nations alleged pervasive public sector corruption. The absence of robust institutional frameworks and capabilities impedes attempts to tackle corruption efficiently.The problem is perpetuated by the widespread belief that corrupt officials seldom suffer penalties.

Yemens protracted civil war has severely undermined institutions and given rise to corruption possibilities.A serious humanitarian crisis has resulted from the protracted fighting, leaving millions of people open to abuse and corruption.

North Korea - 17

    This number suggests that the perceived level of corruption in the public sector in the nation is extremely high.Like many other low-scoring nations, North Koreas score hasnt increased significantly in the last several years. Because of North Koreas regimes lack of political checks and balances and its limited openness, corruption thrives there.

India - 39!

    Indias 2023 CPI score is lower than both the Asia-wide average of 45 and the global average of 43. Even though the score is not much different from 2022, there hasnt been much of an improvement, which emphasises the necessity for ongoing efforts to combat corruption.
