Pakistan failed to improve in the most recent Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI 2022), maintaining its ranking among 180 nations despite the global economic crisis.
On a scale of 0 (very corrupt) to 100 (extremely clean), the CPI is used to rank the perceived levels of public sector corruption in the survey’s participating nations and territories.
According to a Transparency International study released on Tuesday, Pakistan has the worst score in ten years, placing 140th out of 180 nations with a score of 27. The nation dropped 16 positions, from 124 to 140, out of 180, in 2021.
According to TI research, the majority of nations throughout the world are failing to combat corruption.
According to a statement from the corruption watchdog, “more than two-thirds of countries score below 50, while 26 countries have plummeted to their lowest levels yet.” It went on to say that, “despite concerted efforts and hard-won wins,” a total of 155 countries had failed to even make any appreciable progress in the battle against corruption since 2012.
The global average, however, has remained around 43 out of 100 for more than ten years.
