2. Introduction:
• The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is an
index published annually by Transparency
International since 1995 which ranks countries "by
their perceived levels of public sector corruption, as
determined by expert assessments and opinion
surveys."
• The CPI generally defines corruption as "the misuse
of public power for private benefit".

3. Criticism and limitations
• CPI has been criticized on the basis of its
methodology.
• According to political scientist Dan Hough, there
are some flaws in the Index : Corruption is too
complex a concept to be captured by a single
score.
• By measuring perceptions of corruption, as
opposed to corruption itself, the Index may
simply support existing stereotypes and cliches.
• The Index only measures public sector corruption
and ignores the private sector.

4. • The local Transparency International chapter in
Bangladesh disowned the index results after a
change in techniques which caused the country's
scores to increase.
• Transparency International also publishes the
Global Corruption Barometer, which ranks
countries by corruption levels using direct surveys
instead of perceived expert opinions, which has
been under criticism for substantial bias from the
powerful elite

5. • Transparency International has warned all the
country with a clean CPI score may still be
linked to corruption internationally.
• For example, while Sweden had the 3rd best
CPI score in 2015, one of its state-owned
companies, TeliaSonera, was facing allegations
of bribery in Uzbekistan.

7. REVIEW
• India's score of 38, measured from the reports
gathered by the Transparency International, has
been the same as last year. However, it made a 2-
point increment from the reports of 2013 and
2012. India's rank in 2014 was 85 and 94 in 2013.
• The Corruption Perception Index 2015 includes
168 countries in the list and evaluates each, on a
scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).
• According to the recently published Corruption
Perception Index 2015 by Transparency
International, a global organisation, India stands
as the 76th least corrupt country in the world.

8. • The countries at the bottom of the Corruption
Perception Index 2015 are South Sudan with a score of
15, Sudan (12), Afghanistan (11), North Korea(8) and
Somalia (8).
• The top-scoring countries are Netherlands (87), New
Zealand (88), Sweden (89), Finland (90) and Denmark
(91).
• On the other hand, it is reported that a worldwide
value of about 1 trillion dollars is wasted through
corruption every year; a tremendous sum of money
that could be used to eradicate poverty, hunger and
solve many global crises.

REVIEW
• The corruption perception
Index , ranks countries &
territories based on how
corrupt their public sector is
perceived to be.
• India’s score of 40 out of 100
& ranked at number 79th
among 179 countries in
corruption perception index
2016 released by the
“Transparency international
organization.
• It’s score marginally improved
from 38 in 2015 to 40 in 2016.

10. The list was topped by New Zealand and Denmark with a score of 90
each. 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.
• Somalia was ranked the most corrupt country with a score of 10.
• Other countries with lower rankings were South Sudan, North
Korea, Syria, and Yemen.
• The lower-ranked countries in the index were plagued by
untrustworthy and badly functioning public institutions like the
police and judiciary.

13. REVIEW
• Despite the many measures taken by the Mr
Narendra Modi government to clean the system,
India’s ranking in the global Corruption
Perceptions Index, released by Transparency
International , slipped two places to the 81st rank
in 2017.
• The report also terms India as one of the “worst
offenders” in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of
corruption .
• In 2017 India stood at 81st rank with a score of 40
among 180 countries .
• This year, report found that more than two-thirds
of countries score below 50, with an average
score of 43 .
• Unfortunately, compared to recent years, this
poor performance is nothing new.

18. Review
• In 2019 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) reveals that a majority of
countries are showing little to no improvement in tackling corruption.
• Our analysis also shows corruption is more pervasive in countries where
big money can flow freely into electoral campaigns and where
governments listen only to the voices of wealthy or well-connected
individuals.
• The top countries are New Zealand and Denmark, with scores of 87 each,
followed by Finland (86), Singapore (85), Sweden (85) and Switzerland
(85).
• The bottom countries are Somalia, South Sudan and Syria with scores of 9,
12 and 13, respectively. These countries are closely followed by Yemen
(15), Venezuela (16), Sudan (16), Equatorial Guinea (16) and Afghanistan
(16).
• India’s score of 41 out of 100 remains the same as that in 2018. It has
been ranked at number 80.

20. CONCLUSION
• The fight against corruption will be drawn out.
Corruption is often associated or facilitated by other
transnational crimes such as black money .
• The fight against corruption will succeed depending on
how the public in a particular context engages with the
issue. Politics often drives the anti-corruption agenda
or undermines it. By demanding and acting accordingly,
electing only leaders of integrity, and insisting on
accountability for corruption cases, the public could
play a major role in the fight against corruption.
