Let's get straight to the point: No country gets close to a perfect score in the Corruption
Perceptions Index 2016.
Over two-thirds of the 176 countries and territories in this year's index fall below the midpoint
of our scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). The global average score is a paltry 43,
indicating endemic corruption in a country's public sector. Top-scoring countries (yellow in
the map below) are far outnumbered by orange and red countries where citizens face the
tangible impact of corruption on a daily basis.

This year’s results highlight the
connection between corruption and inequality,
which feed
off each other to create a vicious circle between corruption, unequal distribution of power in
society, and unequal distribution of wealth.
The interplay of corruption and inequality also feeds populism. When traditional politicians fail
to tackle corruption, people grow cynical. Increasingly, people are turning to populist leaders
who promise to break the cycle of corruption and privilege. Yet this is likely to exacerbate –
rather than resolve – the tensions that fed the populist surge in the first place. (Read
more
about the linkages between corruption, inequality and populism.)

More countries declined than improved in this year's results, showing the urgent need for
committed action to thwart corruption.
PUTTING THE SCORES IN CONTEXT
The lower-ranked countries in our index are plagued by untrustworthy and badly functioning
public institutions like the police and judiciary. Even where anti-corruption laws are on the
books, in practice they're often skirted or ignored. People frequently face situations of
bribery
and
extortion,
rely on basic services that have been undermined by the
misappropriation of funds, and confront official indifference when seeking redress from
authorities that are on the take.
Grand corruption
thrives in such settings. Cases like
Petrobras
and
Odebrecht
in Brazil or
the
saga of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych
in Ukraine show how collusion between
businesses and politicians siphons off billions of dollars in revenue from national economies,
benefitting the few at the expense of the many. This kind of systemic grand corruption
violates human rights, prevents sustainable development and fuels social exclusion.
Higher-ranked countries tend to have higher degrees of press freedom,
access to
information
about public expenditure, stronger standards of
integrity
for public officials, and
independent judicial systems. But high-scoring countries can't afford to be complacent,
either. While the most obvious forms of corruption may not scar citizens' daily lives in all
these places, the higher-ranked countries are not immune to closed-door deals,
conflicts of
interest, illicit finance,
and patchy law enforcement that can distort public policy and
exacerbate corruption at home and abroad.

While the G20 drags its
feet, the corrupt continue
to benefit from
anonymous company
ownership
The corrupt don’t like
paper trails, they like
secrecy. What better way
to hide corrupt activity than
with a secret company or
trust as a front? You can
anonymously open bank
accounts, make transfers
and launder dirty money. If
the company is not
registered in your name, it
can't always be traced
back to you.
Social Media
For the majority of people living in rural
Nepal, getting access to good medical
facilities is difficult. And it is also not
easy to lodge complaints about poor
health services at government hospitals.
Here is how we have helped.

In too many countries, people are deprived of their most basic
needs and go to bed hungry every night because of corruption,
while the powerful and corrupt enjoy lavish lifestyles with impunity.”
– José Ugaz, Chair of Transparency International
Americas:
From the Panama Papers in April to the record US$3.5 billion Odebrecht
settlement in Brazil in December, 2016 was a good year in the fight against
corruption in the Americas. But there is still a long way to go.

Asia Pacific:
Unfortunately, the majority of Asia Pacific countries sit in the bottom
half of this year’s Corruption Perceptions Index. Poor performance can be
attributed to unaccountable governments, lack of oversight, insecurity and
shrinking space for civil society, pushing anti-corruption action to the margins in
those countries.

Europe and Central Asia:
There are no drastic changes in Europe and Central Asia
on this year’s index, with only a few exceptions. However, this does not mean that
the region is immune from corruption. The stagnation also does not indicate that
the fight against corruption has improved, but rather the opposite.

Middle East and North Africa:
Despite the political changes that shook the Arab
region six years ago, the hope for Arab countries to fight corruption and end
impunity has not seen any progress yet. This explains the sharp drop of most of
Arab countries on the 2016 index – 90 percent of these have scored below 50,
which is a failing grade.

Sub Saharan Africa:
2016 saw elections across the African continent with the
results providing a good reflection of corruption trends in the region. In Ghana, for
example, voters voiced their dissatisfaction with the government's corruption
record at the polls where, for the first time in Ghana's history, an incumbent
president was voted out.

Risk of impunity
increases with outcome
of Portuguese-Angolan
corruption trial
A verdict last week by the
Lisbon Court of Appeals in
the trial of former Angolan
vice president Manuel
Vicente has disappointed
hopes for a triumph of legal
due process over politics
and impunity. It also has
worrying implications for
the independence of
Portugal’s judiciary.
The UK just made it
harder for the corrupt to
hide their wealth offshore
If counted together, the
United Kingdom and its
Overseas Territories and
Crown dependencies
would rank worst in the
world for financial secrecy.
Fortunately, this could
soon change.
