Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index (CPI) ranks 180 countries around the globe yearly in terms of their perceived levels of public sector corruption. The index is ranked from 0 to 100, with 100 indicating a country where instances of corruption are very rare and not at all systemic, while 0 would indicate a thoroughly corrupt public sector. The CPI is a composite index of 13 separate surveys of corruption undertaken by reputable institutions around the world, and is considered by many to be the most overarching and comparable measure of corruption globally.

The 2023 CPI

In the 2024 edition of the Corruption Perception Index, there has been a general trend of declining CPI scores among countries, with some notable exceptions. Denmark stayed in the first position in 2024, with a score of **. Compared to 2023, some countries that experienced notable large declines in their scores included Slovakia, Malta, Belgium, Austria, and France, while Albania, Iceland, and Slovenia were among the countries with the largest increase in the index score. Countries receiving lower scores, such as Azerbaijan and Russia, were perceived as the most corrupt countries in Europe.
