Know the most corrupt and clean governments around the world

Transparency International published its annual ranking of corruption in different governments of the world, in which Denmark ranks the top position and Somalia the last one.

The CPI ranks 180 countries and territories around the world by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, scoring on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

Denmark with 90 points and Somalia with 12 points occupy the first and last positions of this list, respectively.

The global average remains unchanged for over a decade at just 43 out of 100. More than two-thirds of countries score below 50, while 26 countries have fallen to their lowest scores yet. Despite concerted efforts and hard-won gains by some, 155 countries have made no significant progress against corruption or have declined since 2012.

Other countries in this list include Finland and New Zealand ranked 2nd, Australia ranked 13th, Canada ranked 14th, the United States (24th), UAE (27th), Israel (31st), Saudi Arabia (54th), China (65th), Turkey (101), Ukraine (116), Russia (137), Pakistan (140), Afghanistan and Lebanon (150), Iraq, Azerbaijan and Myanmar (157), North Korea (171), Venezuela (177) and Syria (178).
