Corruption Perceptions Index 2022

AMERICAS For the fourth consecutive year, the Americas scores an average of 43 out of 100. A lack of bold, decisive action to fight corruption and strengthen public institutions is fuelling organised criminal activities and other sources of violence. It is also undermining democracy, human rights and development. 43 AVERAGE SCORE TOP SCORERS BOTTOM SCORERS HAITI URUGUAY NICARAGUA CANADA 74 /100 74 /100 69 /100 67 /100 19 /100 17 /100 14 /100 VENEZUELA UNITED STATES CHILE ASIA PACIFIC As authoritarianism grows and restrictions on civic space and basic freedoms imposed during the pandemic remain in place, Asia Pacific continues to stagnate for the fourth year in a row with an average score of 45 points. While some governments have made headway against petty corruption, grand corruption remains common. Pacific leaders have renewed focus on anti- corruption efforts, but in Asia, they have focused on economic recovery at the expense of other priorities. 45 AVERAGE SCORE TOP SCORERS BOTTOM SCORERS SINGAPORE NEW ZEALAND 87 /100 83 /100 76 /100 HONG KONG AFGHANISTAN 24 /100 CAMBODIA 24 /100 23 /100 MYANMAR 17 /100 NORTH KOREA TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL 12
