Corruption Perceptions Index 2022

SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected livelihoods, deepening inequalities and increasing corruption risks across Sub- Saharan Africa. The region remains the lowest performer on the CPI, with an average score of 32. Forty-four of the 49 countries assessed still score below 50, and significant declines in many countries outweigh the gains made in a few. 32 AVERAGE SCORE TOP SCORERS BOTTOM SCORERS CABO VERDE SEYCHELLES 70 /100 60 /100 60 /100 BOTSWANA BURUNDI 17 /100 EQUATORIAL GUINEA 17 /100 13 /100 SOUTH SUDAN 12 /100 SOMALIA WESTERN EUROPE AND EUROPEAN UNION With an average score of 66, Western Europe and the EU is once again the top-scoring region in the CPI. However, progress has stagnated in most countries for more than a decade, as undue influence and fragmented anti-corruption measures have taken their toll. The changing security landscape since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a looming recession both demand robust responses from governments. 66 AVERAGE SCORE TOP SCORERS BOTTOM SCORERS BULGARIA FINLAND ROMANIA DENMARK 90 /100 87 /100 84 /100 46 /100 43 /100 42 /100 HUNGARY NORWAY TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL 14
