BERLIN (CMC): Transparency International says only Guyana and the Dominican Republic in the Americas have improved their Corruption Perception Index (CPI) scores over the past decade, while the others have either stagnated or significantly declined.
On February 1, Berlin-based nongovernmental organization (NGO) Transparency International (TI) released its Corruption Perceptions Index 2022, which ranked 180 countries based on perceived levels of corruption in the public sector. According to the NGO, 95 percent of the countries analyzed made very little progress in the fight against corruption in recent years.
