The
annual Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries and territories
based on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be.
A
country or 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 it is perceived as very
clean. A country's rank indicates its position relative to the other
countries and territories included in the index. This year's index
includes 177 countries and territories (see the map below).
