Transparency International (TI) works with governments, business and citizens to give voice to the victims and witnesses of corruption and stop the abuse of power, bribery and secret deals. TI has published the Corruption Perceptions Index since 1996, annually ranking countries by their perceived levels of corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys. Over two-thirds of the 176 countries and territories in this year’s Corruption Perceptions Index index fall below the midpoint of their scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).
