The source does not specify the number of respondents.
Respondents were asked the following questions:
"Has a police officer asked you for a bribe in the last twelve months?
In the last twelve months, did any government employee ask you for a bribe?"
In a survey carried out in 2023, around 15.81 percent of respondents in Ecuador said that they had been asked or had to pay a bribe in interactions with police officers. Meanwhile, almost ten percent of respondents said they experienced the same with public officials. In other Latin American countries, such as Mexico or Nicaragua, respondents had a higher rate of being bribed by public officials.
