Corruption Perception Index (CPI)

The Corruption Perception Index (CPI) was first launched in 1995 by Transparency International (T.I), an international non-governmental organization set up to tackle the issue of corruption globally.

The CPI scores countries on how corrupt their public sectors are seen to be, using the informed views of analysts, business people and experts in countries around the world. The Index ranks countries annually on a scale from 100 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt).
