CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX 2016
Jump to: Results table | Regional analysis | Resources
Let's get straight to the point: No country gets close to a perfect score in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2016.
Over two-thirds of the 176 countries and territories in this year's index fall below the midpoint of our scale of 0 (highly
corrupt) to 100 (very clean). The global average score is a paltry 43, indicating endemic corruption in a country's public
sector. Top-scoring countries (yellow in the map below) are far outnumbered by orange and red countries where citizens
face the tangible impact of corruption on a daily basis.

This year’s results highlight the connection between corruption and inequality, which feed off each other to create a
vicious circle between corruption, unequal distribution of power in society, and unequal distribution of wealth.
In too many countries, people are deprived of their most basic needs and go to bed hungry every night because
of corruption, while the powerful and corrupt enjoy lavish lifestyles with impunity.”
– José Ugaz, Chair of Transparency International
The interplay of corruption and inequality also feeds populism. When traditional politicians fail to tackle corruption, people
grow cynical. Increasingly, people are turning to populist leaders who promise to break the cycle of corruption and
privilege. Yet this is likely to exacerbate – rather than resolve – the tensions that fed the populist surge in the first place.
(Read more about the linkages between corruption, inequality and populism.)
More countries declined than improved in this year's results, showing the urgent need for committed action to thwart
corruption.
PUTTING THE SCORES IN CONTEXT
The lower-ranked countries in our index are plagued by untrustworthy and badly functioning public institutions like the
police and judiciary. Even where anti-corruption laws are on the books, in practice they're often skirted or ignored. People
frequently face situations of bribery and extortion, rely on basic services that have been undermined by the
misappropriation of funds, and confront official indifference when seeking redress from authorities that are on the take.
Grand corruption thrives in such settings. Cases like Petrobras and Odebrecht in Brazil or the saga of ex-President Viktor
Yanukovych in Ukraine show how collusion between businesses and politicians siphons off billions of dollars in revenue
from national economies, benefitting the few at the expense of the many. This kind of systemic grand corruption violates
human rights, prevents sustainable development and fuels social exclusion.
Higher-ranked countries tend to have higher degrees of press freedom, access to information about public expenditure,
stronger standards of integrity for public officials, and independent judicial systems. But high-scoring countries can't afford
to be complacent, either. While the most obvious forms of corruption may not scar citizens' daily lives in all these places,
the higher-ranked countries are not immune to closed-door deals, conflicts of interest, illicit finance, and patchy law

enforcement that can distort public policy and exacerbate corruption at home and abroad.
REGIONAL ANALYSIS
Corruption hurts all countries, in every region of the world. Learn more about public sector corruption in your region
below.
Americas: From the Panama Papers in April to the record US$3.5 billion Odebrecht settlement in Brazil in
December, 2016 was a good year in the fight against corruption in the Americas. But there is still a long way to
go. Read more
Asia Pacific: Unfortunately, the majority of Asia Pacific countries sit in the bottom half of this year’s
Corruption Perceptions Index. Poor performance can be attributed to unaccountable governments, lack of
oversight, insecurity and shrinking space for civil society, pushing anti-corruption action to the margins in those
countries. Read more
Europe and Central Asia: There are no drastic changes in Europe and Central Asia on this year’s index, with
only a few exceptions. However, this does not mean that the region is immune from corruption. The stagnation
also does not indicate that the fight against corruption has improved, but rather the opposite. Read more
Middle East and North Africa: Despite the political changes that shook the Arab region six years ago, the
hope for Arab countries to fight corruption and end impunity has not seen any progress yet. This explains the
sharp drop of most of Arab countries on the 2016 index – 90 percent of these have scored below 50, which is a
failing grade. Read more
Sub Saharan Africa: 2016 saw elections across the African continent with the results providing a good
reflection of corruption trends in the region. In Ghana, for example, voters voiced their dissatisfaction with the
government's corruption record at the polls where, for the first time in Ghana's history, an incumbent president
was voted out. Read more

CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX 2016:
VICIOUS CIRCLE OF CORRUPTION AND
INEQUALITY MUST BE TACKLED
Rise of populist politicians in many countries is a warning signal
Issued by Transparency International Secretariat
Translations: AR | RU | PT | ES | FR
2016 showed that around the world systemic corruption and social inequality reinforce each other, leading to
popular disenchantment with political establishments and providing a fertile ground for the rise of populist
politicians.
69 per cent of the 176 countries on the Corruption Perceptions Index 2016 scored below 50, on a scale from 0
(perceived to be highly corrupt) to 100 (perceived to be very clean), exposing how massive and pervasive
public sector corruption is around the world. This year more countries declined in the index than improved,
showing the need for urgent action.
No equal opportunities for all
Corruption and inequality feed off each other, creating a vicious circle between corruption, unequal distribution
of power in society, and unequal distribution of wealth. As the Panama Papers showed, it is still far too easy for
the rich and powerful to exploit the opaqueness of the global financial system to enrich themselves at the
expense of the public good.
“In too many countries, people are deprived of their most basic needs and go to bed hungry every night
because of corruption, while the powerful and corrupt enjoy lavish lifestyles with impunity,” said José Ugaz,
Chair of Transparency International.
“We do not have the luxury of time. Corruption needs to be fought with urgency, so that the lives of people
across the world improve,” added Ugaz.
Grand corruption cases, from Petrobras and Odebrecht in Brazil to Ukrainian ex-President Viktor Yanukovych,
show how collusion between businesses and politicians denies national economies of billions of dollars of

revenues that were siphoned off to benefit the few at the expense of the many. This kind of systemic grand
corruption violates human rights, prevents sustainable development and fuels social exclusion.
Brazil’s score on the index, for example, has significantly declined compared to five years ago as one
corruption scandal after another involving top politicians and businesspeople was uncovered. Yet the country
has shown this year that through the work of independent law enforcement bodies it is possible to hold to
account those previously considered untouchable.
Populism is the wrong medicine
People are fed up by too many politicians’ empty assurances to tackle corruption and many are turning towards
populist politicians who promise to change the system and break the cycle of corruption and privilege. Yet this
is likely to only exacerbate the issue.
“In countries with populist or autocratic leaders, we often see democracies in decline and a disturbing pattern
of attempts to crack down on civil society, limit press freedom, and weaken the independence of the judiciary.
Instead of tackling crony capitalism, those leaders usually install even worse forms of corrupt systems,” said
Ugaz. “Only where there is freedom of expression, transparency in all political processes and strong
democratic institutions, can civil society and the media hold those in power to account and corruption be fought
successfully.”
The index scores of Hungary and Turkey – countries that have seen the rise of autocratic leaders – have
dropped in recent years. In contrast, the score of Argentina, which has ousted a populist government, is
starting to improve.
What needs to be done
Technical fixes to specific anti-corruption legislation are not enough. What is urgently needed are deep-rooted
systemic reforms that even up the growing imbalance of power and wealth by empowering citizens to stop the
widespread impunity for corruption, hold the powerful to account, and have a real say in the decisions that
affect their daily lives.
These reforms must include the disclosure through public registries of who owns companies as well as
sanctions for professional enablers who are complicit in moving corrupt money flows across borders.
The results
The Corruption Perceptions Index 2016 covers perceptions of public sector corruption in 176 countries. Click
here for the full index.
Denmark and New Zealand perform best with scores of 90, closely followed by Finland (89) and Sweden (88).
Although no country is free of corruption, the countries at the top share characteristics of open government,
press freedom, civil liberties and independent judicial systems.
For the tenth year running, Somalia is the worst performer on the index, this year scoring only 10. South Sudan
is second to bottom with a score of 11, followed by North Korea (12) and Syria (13). Countries at the bottom of
the index are characterised by widespread impunity for corruption, poor governance and weak institutions.
Countries in troubled regions, particularly in the Middle East, have seen the most substantial drops this year.
Qatar is the biggest decliner compared to the 2015 index with a drop of 10 scores. “The FIFA scandals, the

investigations into the decision to host the World Cup in 2022 in Qatar and reports of human rights abuses for
migrant workers have clearly affected the perception of the country,” said Ugaz.

Corruption Perceptions Index 2016:
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI)?
The CPI scores and ranks countries/territories based on how corrupt a country’s
public sector is perceived to be. It is a composite index, a combination of surveys and
assessments of corruption, collected by a variety of reputable institutions. The CPI is
the most widely used indicator of corruption worldwide.
Why is the CPI based on perceptions?
Corruption generally comprises illegal activities, which are deliberately hidden and
only come to light through scandals, investigations or prosecutions. There is no
meaningful way to assess absolute levels of corruption in countries or territories on
the basis of hard empirical data. Possible attempts to do so, such as by comparing
bribes reported, the number of prosecutions brought or studying court cases directly
linked to corruption, cannot be taken as definitive indicators of corruption levels.
Instead, they show how effective prosecutors, the courts or the media are in
investigating and exposing corruption. Capturing perceptions of corruption of those in
a position to offer assessments of public sector corruption is the most reliable method
of comparing relative corruption levels across countries.
Which countries/territories are included in the CPI 2016 and why?
For a country/territory to be included in the ranking, it must be included in a minimum
of three of the CPI’s data sources. If a country is not featured in the ranking, then this
is solely because of insufficient survey information and not an indication that
corruption does not exist in the country. This year 176 countries and territories are
included in the index, eight more than in 2015. Comparing to the 2015 CPI,
Seychelles is no longer included in the 2016 CPI, but Bahamas, Barbados, Brunei,
Dominica, Grenada, Maldives, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and
Solomon Islands enter the 2016 CPI.
What are the data sources for the CPI?
The 2016 CPI draws on data sources from independent institutions specialising in
governance and business climate analysis. The sources of information used for the
2016 CPI are based on data gathered in the past 24 months. The CPI includes only
sources that provide a score for a set of countries/territories and that measure
perceptions of corruption in the public sector. Transparency International reviews the
methodology of each data source in detail to ensure that the sources used meet
Transparency International’s quality standards. For a full list of the data sources, the
type of respondents and the specific questions asked, please see the CPI sources
description document.
What is the difference between a country/territory’s rank and its score?
A country/territory’s score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on
a scale of 0-100, where 0 means that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and a
100 means that a country is perceived as very clean. A country's rank indicates its
2
position relative to the other countries/territories included in the index. Ranks can
change merely if the number of countries included in the index changes.
Is the country/territory with the lowest score the world's most corrupt nation?
No. The CPI is an indicator of perceptions of public sector corruption, i.e.
administrative and political corruption. It is not a verdict on the levels of corruption of
entire nations or societies, or of their policies, or the activities of their private sector.
Citizens of those countries/territories that score at the lower end of the CPI often
show the same concern about and condemnation of corruption as the public in
countries that perform strongly.
Further, the country/territory with the lowest score is the one where public sector
corruption is perceived to be greatest among those included in the list. The CPI
provides no information about countries/territories that are not included in the index.
Can the score of a country in the 2016 Corruption Perceptions Index be
compared with the previous year?
Yes. As part of the update to the methodology used to calculate the CPI in 2012 we
established the new scale of 0-100. Using this scale we can compare CPI scores
from one year to the next. Because of the update in the methodology, however, CPI
scores before 2012 are not comparable over time. In addition, due to the inclusion of
a new data source in 2016, the scores of the underlying data sources are not
comparable to previous years.
For a more detailed description of the change in methodology in 2012, please see
Corruption Perceptions Index – An updated Methodology for 2012.
Which countries have improved/declined on the Corruption Perceptions Index
this year?
The biggest improvers this year are Suriname, Belarus, Timor-Leste, Myanmar,
Guyana, Georgia, Laos, Argentina, North Korea, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde,
Turkmenistan, Sao Tome and Principe and Afghanistan.
The biggest decliners this year are Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi-Arabia, Cyprus,
Lesotho, Jordan, Syria, Macedonia, Mexico, South Sudan, Chile, United Arab
Emirates, Mauritania, Central African Republic, Netherlands, Mozambique, Trinidad
and Tobago, Ghana, Yemen and Djibouti.
Does the CPI tell the full story of corruption in a country?
No. The CPI is limited in scope, capturing perceptions of the extent of corruption in
the public sector, from the perspective of business people and country experts.
Complementing this viewpoint and capturing different aspects of corruption,
Transparency International produces a range of both qualitative and quantitative
research on corruption, both at the global level from its Secretariat and at the national
level through Transparency International’s network of national chapters based in over
100 countries around the world.
Complementing the CPI, Transparency International’s other global research products
include:

Corruption Perceptions Index 2016:
Short Methodology Note
The Corruption Perceptions Index aggregates data from a number of different
sources that provide perceptions of business people and country experts of the level
of corruption in the public sector.
The following steps are followed to calculate the CPI:
1. Select data sources: Each data source that is used to construct the Corruption
Perceptions Index must fulfil the following criteria to qualify as a valid source:
 Quantifies perceptions of corruption in the public sector
 Be based on a reliable and valid methodology, which scores and ranks
multiple countries on the same scale
 Performed by a credible institution and expected to be repeated regularly
 Allow for sufficient variation of scores to distinguish between countries
The CPI 2016 is calculated using 13 different data sources from 12 different
institutions that capture perceptions of corruption within the past two years.
These sources are described in detail in the accompanying source description
document.
2. Standardise data sources to a scale of 0-100 where a 0 equals the highest level
of perceived corruption and 100 equals the lowest level of perceived corruption.
This is done by subtracting the mean of the data set and dividing by the standard
deviation and results in z-scores, which are then adjusted to have a mean of
approximately 45 and a standard deviation of approximately 20 so that the data
set fits the CPI’s 0-100 scale. The mean and standard deviation are taken from
the 2012 scores, so that the rescaled scores can be compared over time against
the baseline year.
3. Calculate the average: For a country or territory to be included in the CPI, a
minimum of three sources must assess that country. A country’s CPI score is
then calculated as the average of all standardised scores available for that
country. Scores are rounded to whole numbers.
4. Report a measure of uncertainty: The CPI is accompanied by a standard error
and confidence interval associated with the score, which capture the variation in
scores of the data sources available for that country/territory.

Corruption Perceptions Index 2016:
Technical Methodology Note
Background
The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) was established in 1995 as a composite
indicator used to measure perceptions of corruption in the public sector in different
countries around the world. During the past 20 years, both the sources used to
compile the index and the methodology has been adjusted and refined. The most
recent review process took place in 20121
, and some important changes were made
to the methodology in 2012. The method that was used up until 2012 to aggregate
different data sources has been simplified and now includes just one year’s data from
each data source. Crucially, this method now allows us to compare scores over time,
which was not methodologically possible prior to 2012.
Methodology
The methodology follows 4 basic steps: selection of source data, rescaling source
data, aggregating the rescaled data and then reporting a measure for uncertainty.
1. Selection of data sources
The CPI draws upon a number of available sources which capture perceptions of
corruption. Each source is evaluated against the criteria listed below. Contact has
been made with each institution providing data in order to verify the methodology
used to generate scores and for permission to publish the rescaled scores from each
source, alongside the composite index score.
A) Reliable data collection and methodology from a credible institution: It is
necessary that we trust the validity of the data we are using. As such, each
source should originate from a professional institution that clearly documents
its methods for data collection. These methods should be methodologically
sound, for example, where an ‘expert opinion’ is being provided, we seek
assurance on the qualifications of the expert or where a business survey is
being conducted, that the survey sample is representative.
B) Data addresses corruption in the public sector: The question or analysis
should relate to a perception of the level of corruption explicitly in the public
sector. The question can relate to a defined ‘type’ of corruption (e.g.
specifically petty corruption), and where appropriate, the effectiveness of
1 The methodology used to calculate the CPI 2016 builds on the work examining alternative
approaches for constructing the CPI carried out by Prof. Andrew Gelman: Professor,
Department of Statistics and Department of Political Science, Columbia University and Dr
Piero Stanig: Fellow, Methodology Institute, London School of Economics and Political
Science. This work was presented to Transparency International in a report that is available
on request. Please email Santhosh Srinivasan at ssrinivasan@transparency.org.
2
corruption prevention as this can be used as a proxy for the perceived level of
corruption in the country.
C) Quantitative granularity: The scales used by the data sources must allow
for sufficient differentiation in the data (i.e., at least a four-point scale) on the
perceived levels of corruption across countries so that it can be rescaled to
the CPI’s 0-100 scale.
D) Cross country comparability: As the CPI ranks countries against each
other, the source data must also be legitimately comparable between
countries and not be country specific. The source should measure the same
thing in each country scored, on the same scale.
E) Multi year data-set: We want to be able to compare a country’s score, and
indeed the index in general, from one year to the next. Sources that capture
corruption perceptions for a single point in time, but that are not designed to
be repeated over time, are therefore excluded.
2. Standardise data sources
Each source is then standardised to be compatible with other available sources, for
aggregation to the CPI scale. The standardisation converts all the data sources to a
scale of 0-100 where a 0 = highest level of perceived corruption, and 100 = lowest
level of perceived corruption.
Any source that is scaled such that lower scores represent lower levels of corruption
must first be reversed. This is done by multiplying every score in the data set by -1.
Every score is then standardised (to a z score) by subtracting the mean of the data
and dividing by the standard deviation. This results in a data set centred around 0
and with a standard deviation of 1.
For these z scores to be comparable between data sets, we must define the mean
and standard deviation parameters as global parameters. Therefore where a data set
covers a limited range of countries, we impute scores for all those countries that are
missing in the respective data set. We impute missing values for missing countries in
each data set using the statistical software package STATA and, more specifically,
the programme’s impute command. This command regresses each data set against
the CPI data sources that are at least 50% complete to estimate values for each
country that is missing data in each individual data set. This is with the exception of
the Bertelsmann Foundation’s Transformation Index data, which is not used for the
imputation of the Bertelsmann Foundation’s Sustainable Governance Indicators
because there is no overlap in country coverage of these two data sources. The
mean and standard deviation for the data set is calculated as an average of the
complete data sets and is used as the parameter to standardise the raw data.
Importantly, the complete data set with imputed values is used only to generate these
parameters and the imputed values themselves are not used as source data for CPI
country scores.
Critically, the z scores are calculated using the mean and standard deviation
parameters from the imputed 2012 scores. This is so that 2012 is effectively the
baseline year for the data and the rescaled scores can be comparable year on year.
When new sources enter the index, in order to appropriately reflect changes over
time, the rescaling calculation allows for these to be consistent with 2012 baseline
parameters. This is done by first estimating if there was a global change in the mean
3
and standard deviation since 2012, and then using these new values, which may
have deviated from 50 and 20 to rescale the new data set.2
The z scores are then rescaled to fit the CPI scale between 0-100. This uses a
simple rescaling formula, which sets the mean value of the standardised dataset to
approximately 45, and the standard deviation of approximately 20. Any score which
exceeds the 0 to 100 boundaries will be capped.
3. Aggregate the rescaled data
Each country’s CPI score is calculated as a simple average of all the available
rescaled scores for that country (note, we do not use any of the imputed values as a
score for the aggregated CPI). A country will only be given a score if there are at
least three data sources available from which to calculate this average.
4. Report a measure of uncertainty
The CPI score is reported alongside a standard error and 90% confidence interval
which reflects the variance in the value of the source data that comprises the CPI
score.
The standard error term is calculated as the standard deviation of the rescaled
source data, divided by the square root of the number of sources. Using this standard
error, we can calculate the 90% confidence interval, assuming a normal distribution.
2 Since a new data source was added to the CPI, the above procedure was used to check if
there was a change in the mean and standard deviation since 2012. We established that the
mean and standard deviation had not changed and thereby maintaining year on year
comparison of CPI scores.

1. African Development Bank Governance Ratings 2015
Code: AFDB
Data Provider
The African Development Bank (AFDB) is a regional multilateral development bank, engaged in
promoting the economic development and social progress of countries on the continent.
The AfDB’s 2015 Governance Ratings are part of the Country Policy and Institutional Assessment
(CPIA), which assesses the quality of a country’s institutional framework in terms of how conducive it is
to fostering the effective use of development assistance. The current CPIA strives to achieve a
maximum level of uniformity and consistency across all regional member countries surveyed. Also, and
in order to comply with the Paris and Rome declarations on Aid Effectiveness, Harmonization and
Alignment, the AfDB has modified the questionnaire and guidelines for its CPIA to be in line with those
of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, thus increasing the comparability and synergy
among systems.
The CPIA is carried out by a group of country economists with vast experience in policy analysis. The
knowledge of these experts is complemented with that of local contacts that provide both quantitative
and qualitative insights. Peer discussions are also used to monitor the quality of the findings.
Corruption Question(s)
Experts are asked to assess:
Transparency, Accountability and Corruption in the Public Sector.
“This criterion assesses the extent to which the executive can be held accountable for its use of funds
and the results of its actions by the electorate and by the legislature and judiciary, and the extent to
which public employees within the executive are required to account for the use of resources,
administrative decisions, and results obtained. Both levels of accountability are enhanced by
transparency in decision making, public audit institutions, access to relevant and timely information, and
public and media scrutiny. A high degree of accountability and transparency discourages corruption, or
the abuse of public office for private gain. National and sub-national governments should be
appropriately weighted.
Each of three dimensions should be rated separately:
(a) the accountability of the executive to oversight institutions and of public employees for their
performance;
(b) access of civil society to information on public affairs; and
(c) state capture by narrow vested interests.”
The questionnaire for CPIA assessment can be accessed here:
https://cpia.afdb.org/documents/public/cpia2015-questionnaire-en.pdf
Scores
The rating scale ranges from 1 (very weak for two or more years) to 6 (very strong for three or more
years) and allows for half point intermediate scores (e.g.3.5).
The score is an aggregate of the three dimensions of corruption across national and sub-national
government institutions in the country.
Country Coverage
38 African countries are covered.
Countries are scored in terms of their performance during the year of the rating vis-à-vis the criteria,
which are included in the CPIA Manual for Drafters and updated every year. The CPIA is a three-phase
process involving i) the rating of countries by country teams; iii) the review of all ratings by sector
experts; and iii) the endorsement of final ratings at open discussions between country teams and
reviewers
Data availability
The data set has been published annually since 2005.

The Bertelsmann Stiftung was founded in 1977 as a private foundation. As a think tank they work toward
improved education, a just and efficient economic system, a preventative healthcare system, a vibrant
civil society and greater international understanding. The Bertelsmann Stiftung is independent and
nonpartisan. It designs, launches and runs its own projects.
The Sustainable Governance Indicators (SGI) examine governance and policymaking in all OECD and
EU member states in order to evaluate each country's need for, and ability to carry out, reform.
The indicators are calculated using quantitative data from international organisations and then
supplemented by qualitative assessments from recognised country experts.
Corruption Question(s)
Experts are asked to assess:
“To what extent are public officeholders prevented from abusing their position for private interests?”
This question addresses how the state and society prevent public servants and politicians from
accepting bribes by applying mechanisms to guarantee the integrity of officeholders: auditing of state
spending; regulation of party financing; citizen and media access to information; accountability of
officeholders (asset declarations, conflict of interest rules, codes of conduct); transparent public
procurement systems; effective prosecution of corruption.
Scores are given from:
 a low of 1 to 2, where 'Public officeholders can exploit their offices for private gain as they see
fit without fear of legal consequences or adverse publicity'
 to a high of 9 to 10, where 'Legal, political and public integrity mechanisms effectively prevent
public officeholders from abusing their positions.'
Scores
Scores are given on a scale of 1 (highest level of corruption) to 10 (lowest level of corruption).
Country Coverage
All 41 OECD and EU countries were scored.
The quantitative data are compiled centrally by the SGI project team from official, publicly accessible
statistics (primarily from OECD sources). The qualitative data are captured and examined by a
worldwide network of around 100 respected researchers. The SGI Codebook, a detailed questionnaire,
provides a clear explanation for each of the questions, so that all experts share a common
understanding of the questions (http://www.sgi-network.org/docs/2016/basics/SGI2016_Codebook.pdf).
Data availability
First published in 2009, this is now an annual publication.
The Sustainable Governance Indicators 2016 data is publicly available online. It assesses a one-year
period from November 2014 to November 2015.

3. Bertelsmann Foundation Transformation Index 2016
Code: BF (TI)
Data Provider
The Bertelsmann Stiftung was founded in 1977 as a private foundation. As a think tank they work toward
improved education, a just and efficient economic system, a preventative healthcare system, a vibrant
civil society and greater international understanding. The Bertelsmann Stiftung is independent and
nonpartisan. It designs, launches and runs its own projects.
The Transformation Index provides the framework for an exchange of good practice among agents of
reform. Within this framework, the BTI publishes two rankings, the Status Index and the Management
Index, both of which are based on in-depth assessments of 129 countries. The scores are based on
detailed country reports which assess 52 questions divided into 17 criteria.
Assessments are provided by two experts per country. Country assessments consist of two sections:
the written assessment of the state of transformation and management performance in a country
(country report) and the numerical assessment of the state of transformation and management
performance (country ratings). Scores are given by a country expert, which are then reviewed blind by a
second country expert who also provides a second independent rating of the country. These scores by
experts are then verified and discussed by regional coordinators to ensure intra and inter-regional
comparability in ratings. In addition, BF has also instituted an extra layer of verification to ensure the
scores provided match the qualitative descriptions for each country.
Corruption Question(s)
Experts are asked to assess:
“To what extent are public officeholders who abuse their positions prosecuted or penalized?”
Assessments range from:
 a low of 1, where 'Officeholders who break the law and engage in corruption can do so without
fear of legal consequences or adverse publicity.'
 to a high of 10, where 'Officeholders who break the law and engage in corruption are
prosecuted rigorously under established laws and always attract adverse publicity.'
“To what extent does the government successfully contain corruption?” Assessments range from:
 from a low of 1, where 'The government fails to contain corruption, and there are no integrity
mechanisms in place.'
 to a high of 10, where 'The government is successful in containing corruption, and all integrity
mechanisms are in place and effective.'
Scores
Scores are assigned on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the lowest level of corruption and 1 being the
highest.
The score for each country is an average of the two questions.
The BTI codebook for 2016 is accessible here: https://www.bti-
project.org/fileadmin/files/BTI/Downloads/Zusaetzliche_Downloads/Codebook_BTI_2016.pdf

4. Economist Intelligence Unit Country Risk Ratings 2016
Code: EIU
Data Provider
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) was established in 1946 as the research body for The Economist
newspaper. Since then, it has grown into a global research and advisory firm that produces business
intelligence for policy makers worldwide. 650 full-time and contributing analysts work in and on over 200
countries/territories.
Country Risk Ratings are designed to provide in-depth and timely analysis of the risks of financial
exposure in more than 140 countries.
The EIU relies on teams of experts based primarily in London (but also in New York, Hong Kong, Beijing
and Shanghai) who are supported by a global network of in-country specialists. Each country analyst
covers a maximum of two or three countries/territories. The economic and political reports produced by
EIU analysts are subjected to a rigorous review process before publication.
Corruption Question(s)
Specific guiding questions include:
 Are there clear procedures and accountability governing the allocation and use of public funds?
 Are public funds misappropriated by ministers/public officials for private or party political purposes?
 Are there special funds for which there is no accountability?
 Are there general abuses of public resources?
 Is there a professional civil service or are large numbers of officials directly appointed by the
government?
 Is there an independent body auditing the management of public finances?
 Is there an independent judiciary with the power to try ministers/public officials for abuses?
 Is there a tradition of a payment of bribes to secure contracts and gain favours?
Scores
Scores are given as integers on a scale from 0 (very low incidence of corruption) to 4 (very high
incidence of corruption).
Country Coverage
129 countries/territories were scored in 2016.

5. Freedom House Nations in Transit 2016
Code: FH
Data Provider
Founded in 1941, Freedom House is an independent watchdog organisation that supports the
expansion of freedom around the world. Freedom House supports democratic change, monitors
freedom, and advocates for democracy and human rights.
The Nations in Transit (NIT) reports measure democratisation in 29 nations and administrative areas
throughout Central Europe and the Newly Independent States (NIS). The reports focus on democratic
progress and setbacks. Each report focuses on the following thematic areas: national democratic
governance; electoral process; civil society; independent media; local democratic governance; judicial
framework and independence; and corruption.
The NIT surveys were produced by Freedom House staff and consultants. The latter were
recommended by relevant authorities and are regional or country specialists. A range of sources were
used in compiling the report, including: multilateral lending institutions; non-governmental organisations;
and other international organisations; local newspapers and magazines; and select government data.
Corruption Question(s)
The Freedom House experts are asked to explore a range of indicative questions, including:
 Has the government implemented effective anti-corruption initiatives?
 Is the government free from excessive bureaucratic regulations, registration requirements, and other
controls that increase opportunities for corruption?
 Are there adequate laws requiring financial disclosure and disallowing conflict of interest?
 Does the government advertise jobs and contracts?
 Does the state enforce an effective legislative or administrative process—particularly one that is free
of prejudice against one’s political opponents—to prevent, investigate, and prosecute the corruption
of government officials and civil servants?
 Do whistleblowers, anti-corruption activists, investigators, and journalists enjoy legal protections that
make them feel secure about reporting cases of bribery and corruption?
Scores
Ratings run from 1 (lowest level of corruption) to 7 (highest level of corruption) and allow for half-point
and quarter-point intermediate scores (e.g. 3.25).
The score is a generalised composite measure of corruption that includes an assessment of all areas
covered by the indicative questions.
Country Coverage
29 countries/territories were ranked in 2016.
Country scores are reviewed at the regional level and then centrally by the Freedom House academic
advisory board.
Data availability
The report has been published annually since 2003.

6. Global Insight Country Risk Ratings 2015
Code: GI
Data Provider
Founded in 1959, IHS is a global information company employing more than 5,100 people in more than
30 countries around the world. It provides a wide range of online services covering macroeconomics,
country risk and individual sector analysis.
The Global Insight country risk rating system has been in operation since 1999 and provides a six-factor
analysis of the risk environment in over 200 countries/territories. The six factors are political, economic,
legal, tax operational and security risk. The corruption risk score used in the CPI is drawn from Global
Insight Business Condition and Risk Indicators.
The assessments are made by over 100 in-house country specialists, who also draw on the expert
opinions of in-country freelancers, clients and other contacts. The ratings reflect IHS Global Insights
expert perceptions of the comparative level of the problem in each country/territory. The ratings assess
the broad range of corruption, from petty bribe-paying to higher-level political corruption and the scores
assigned to each country are based on a qualitative assessment of corruption in each country/territory.
Corruption Question(s)
Experts are asked to assess:
The risk that individuals/companies will face bribery or other corrupt practices to carry out business,
from securing major contracts to being allowed to import/export a small product or obtain everyday
paperwork. This threatens a company's ability to operate in a country, or opens it up to legal or
regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
Scores
The ratings range from a minimum of 1.0 (maximum corruption) to 5.0 (minimum corruption) and allow
for half-point intermediate scores (e.g. 3.5).
Country Coverage
204 countries/territories worldwide are scored.
Scores provided by country analysts are reviewed and benchmarked by IHS Global Insight's risk
specialists at both the regional and global level.
Data availability
The Country Risk Rating System has been available since 1999 and is continuously maintained.
The data for CPI 2016 from IHS Global Insight was accessed through the World Bank World

people.”
The WCY largely includes hard data but also a survey of senior business leaders who, together, reflect
a cross-section of a nation’s corporate community. IMD calls upon local and foreign enterprises
operating in a given economy, and surveys both nationals and expatriates, so as to add an international
perspective on local environments. In 2016, 5480 business executives responded. The IMD World
Competitiveness Centre works in collaboration with 54 partner institutes around the world to assure the
validity and relevance of data.

8. Political and Economic Risk Consultancy 2016
Code: PERC
Data Provider
The Political and Economic Risk Consultancy or PERC is a consulting firm specialising in strategic
business information and analysis for companies doing business in the countries of East and Southeast
Asia. As part of its services, PERC produces a range of risk reports on Asian countries, paying special
attention to critical socio-political variables like corruption, intellectual property rights and risks, labour
quality, and other systemic strengths and weakness of individual Asian countries/territories.
PERC publishes fortnightly newsletters, which are available to subscribers, on a number of issues. The
data for the CPI was gathered from the corruption newsletter, which gathers and interprets data from an
executive opinion survey of local and expatriate businesspeople.
All responses were either collected in face-to-face interviews or in response to e-mails directed to
specific people obtained from different national business chambers, conferences, and personal name
lists. All respondents provided scores and comments only for the country in which they are currently
residing. Respondents for each country include local business executives who are nationals of the
countries, academics and expatriate executives.
Corruption Question(s)
The following three questions were asked:
First, how do you grade the problem of corruption in the country in which you are working? Second, has
corruption decreased, stayed the same or increased compared with one year ago? Third, what aspects
or implications of corruption in your country stand out to you as being particularly important?
For the CPI only the first question: how do you grade the problem of corruption in the country in which
you are working was used.
Scores
Answers to the question were scaled from 0 (not a problem) to 10 (a serious problem).
Country Coverage
15 Asian countries/territories plus the Unites States were surveyed in 2016.
The same questions and survey methodology were employed in each country surveyed.
Data availability
The survey dates back 20 years and is conducted annually.
The data used for the CPI 2016 was gathered in a survey carried out between January 2016 and March
2016 and published in April 2016.
The data is available to subscribers.

9. Political Risk Services International Country Risk Guide 2016
Code: PRS
Data Provider
Based in the vicinity of Syracuse, New York, since its founding in 1979, Political Risk Services (PRS)
has consistently focused on political risk analysis.
On a monthly basis since 1980, their International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) has produced political,
economic, and financial risk ratings for countries/territories important to international business. The
ICRG now monitors 140 countries/territories. ICRG ratings form the basis of an early warning system for
opportunities and pitfalls, country-by-country.
ICRG staff collect political information and convert it to risk points on the basis of a consistent pattern of
evaluation. Political risk assessments and other political information form the basis of ICRG risk ratings.
It is therefore possible for the user to check through the information and data so as to assess the ratings
against their own assessments, or against some other risk ratings system.
Corruption Question(s)
This is an assessment of corruption within the political system. The most common form of corruption
met directly by businesses is financial corruption in the form of demands for special payments and
bribes connected with import and export licenses, exchange controls, tax assessments, police
protection, or loans. The measure is most concerned with actual or potential corruption in the form of
excessive patronage, nepotism, job reservations, exchange of favours, secret party funding, and
suspiciously close ties between politics and business.
Scores
The corruption scores are given on a scale of 0 (highest potential risk) to 6 (lowest potential risk).
Country Coverage
The ICRG provides ratings for 140 countries on a monthly basis.
To ensure consistency both between countries/territories and over time, points are assigned by ICRG
editors on the basis of a series of pre-set questions for each risk component.
Data availability
The ICRG model was created in 1980 and the data is made available on a monthly basis.
The CPI 2016 data is an aggregate of quarterly assessments covering the period of August 2015 to
August 2016.
Data is available to customers of the PRS International Country Risk Guide.

10. World Bank Country Policy and Institutional Assessment 2015
Code: WB
Data Provider
The World Bank was established in 1944, is headquartered in Washington, D.C and has more than
10,000 employees in more than 100 offices worldwide. The World Bank is made up of two development
institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International
Development Association (IDA).The IBRD aims to reduce poverty in middle-income and creditworthy
poorer countries, while IDA focuses on the world's poorest countries.
The CPIA rates all IDA-eligible countries against a set of 16 criteria grouped in four clusters: (a)
economic management; (b) structural policies; (c) policies for social inclusion and equity; and (d) public
sector management and institutions. The criteria are focused on balancing the capture of those factors
critical to fostering growth and poverty reduction against avoiding undue burden on the assessment
process.
The ratings are the product of staff judgment and do not necessarily reflect the views of the World
Bank’s Board of Executive Directors or the governments they represent. The Bank has prepared
guidance to help staff assess country performance, by providing a definition of each criterion and a
detailed description of each rating level. Bank staff assess the countries’ actual performance on each of
the criteria, and assign a rating. The ratings reflect a variety of indicators, observations, and judgments
based on country knowledge, originating with the Bank or elsewhere, and on relevant publicly available
indicators.
Corruption Question(s)
Experts are asked to assess:
Transparency, Accountability and Corruption in the Public Sector.
“This criterion assesses the extent to which the executive can be held accountable for its use of funds
and the results of its actions by the electorate and by the legislature and judiciary, and the extent to
which public employees within the executive are required to account for the use of resources,
administrative decisions, and results obtained. Both levels of accountability are enhanced by
transparency in decision making, public audit institutions, access to relevant and timely information, and
public and media scrutiny. A high degree of accountability and transparency discourages corruption, or
the abuse of public office for private gain. National and sub-national governments should be
appropriately weighted.
Each of three dimensions should be rated separately:
(a) accountability of the executive to oversight institutions and of public employees for their
performance;
(b) access of civil society to information on public affairs; and
(c) state capture by narrow vested interests.”
http://pubdocs.worldbank.org/pubdocs/publicdoc/2015/6/559351435159340828/cpia14-webFAQ14.pdf
Scores
The rating scale ranges from 1 (low levels of transparency) to 6 (high levels of transparency) and allows
for half-point intermediate scores (eg. 3.5). The score is an aggregate of the three dimensions of
corruption across national and sub-national government institutions in the country/territory.
Country Coverage
76 countries were scored in the CPIA 2015.
The process of preparing the ratings involves two phases: (a) the benchmarking phase, in which a
small, representative, sample of countries is rated in an intensive Bank-wide process; and (b) a second
phase, in which the remaining countries are rated using the derived benchmark ratings as guideposts.
The process is managed by the Bank’s Operations Policy and Country Services Vice-Presidency.
Data availability
First released in 2005 in its current form, the CPIA is now an annual exercise.
The ratings process typically starts in the fall and is concluded in the spring of the following year. The
scores disclosed in June 2016 (the 2015 CPIA exercise) cover 2015 country performance.
The data is publicly available online.

11. World Economic Forum Executive Opinion Survey (EOS) 2016
Code: WEF
Data Provider
The World Economic Forum is an independent international organisation committed to improving the
state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape
global, regional and industry agendas. Incorporated as a not-for-profit foundation in 1971, and
headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the Forum is not tied to political, partisan or national interests.
The Executive Opinion Survey (EOS) is the World Economic Forum's annual survey of business
executives. The survey has evolved over time to capture new data points essential to the Global
Competitiveness Index (GCI) and other Forum indexes.
The Forum's Global Competitiveness and Benchmarking Network works closely with a network of over
160 Partner Institutes that administer the survey in their respective countries/territories. They are
selected because of their capacity to reach out to leading business executives as well as their
understanding of the national business environment and their commitment to the Forum's research on
competitiveness. The Partner Institutes are, for the most part, well-respected economics departments of
national universities, independent research institutes or business organisations. The surveys are
conducted according to detailed guidelines aiming at collecting a sample stratified by sector of activity
and company size. The EOS administration process is reviewed on a yearly basis and underwent an
external review in 2008 and 2012 by a renowned survey expert consultancy. See chapter 1.3 of the
Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014 for further details www.weforum.org/gcr.
Corruption Question(s)
Survey respondents were asked:
(On a scale of 1 - 7 where 1 means very common and 7 means never)
“In your country, how common is it for firms to make undocumented extra payments or bribes connected
with the following”:
a) Imports and exports;
b) Public Utilities;
c) Annual Tax Payments;
d) Awarding of public contracts and licenses;
e) Obtaining favourable judicial decisions.
(on a scale of 1 - 7 where 1 means very common and 7 means never)
“In your country, how common is diversion of public funds to companies, individuals or groups due to
corruption?”
Scores
Each question is scored by respondents on a scale of 1 - 7.
The results of parts a) to e) of the first question were aggregated into a single score. The results of the
first and second question were then averaged across all respondents to give a score per
country/territory.
Country Coverage
In 2016 the survey captured the views of business executives in 134 economies. Data from the 2015
survey was used for 7 countries: Egypt, Guyana, Haiti, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Nicaragua and
Swaziland.
The survey is conducted in each country/territory according to the sampling guidelines and therefore in a
consistent manner across the globe during the same time of year.
Data availability
The World Economic Forum has conducted its annual survey for more than 30 years. The data was
gathered in a survey conducted between January and June 2016. Some aggregated data is available in
the appendix of the Global Competitiveness Report, the micro-level data is provided to TI by the World
Economic Forum.

12. World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2016
Code: WJP
Data Provider
The World Justice Project (WJP) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation working to advance the
rule of law for the development of communities of opportunity and equity. The WJP’s multi-national,
multi-disciplinary efforts are dedicated to developing practical programmes in support of the rule of law
around the world. The work of the WJP is based on two complementary premises: the rule of law is the
foundation for communities of opportunity and equity, and multi-disciplinary collaboration is the most
effective way to advance the rule of law.
The WJP Rule of Law Index is an assessment tool designed by The World Justice Project to offer a
detailed and comprehensive picture of the extent to which countries/territories adhere to the rule of law
in practice. The Index provides detailed information and original data regarding a variety of dimensions
of the rule of law, which enables stakeholders to assess a nation’s adherence to the rule of law in
practice, identify a nation’s strengths and weaknesses in comparison to similarly situated countries, and
track changes over time.
The Index’s rankings and scores are the product of a rigorous data collection and aggregation process.
Data comes from a global poll of the general public and detailed questionnaires administered to local
experts. To date, over 2,000 experts and 66,000 other individuals from around the world have
participated in this project.
Corruption Question(s)
A total of 68 questions are asked of experts and respondents from the general population (53 and 15
targeted to each group respectively) on the extent to which government officials use public office for
private gain. These questions touch on a variety of sectors within government including the public health
system, regulatory agencies, the police, and the courts. Individual questions are aggregated into four
sub-indices:
 Government officials in the executive branch do not use public office for private gain
 Government officials in the judicial branch do not use public office for private gain
 Government officials in the police and the military do not use public office for private gain
 Government officials in the legislature do not use public office for private gain
Only the scores provided by the experts were considered for the CPI calculations.
Scores
Scores are given on a continuous scale between from a low of 0 to a high of 1.
Country Coverage
113 countries were scored in the 2016 Rule of Law index.
The Index is deliberately intended to be applied in countries with vastly differing social, cultural,
economic, and political systems.
Data availability
The first edition was published in 2010, with slight variation in methodology and country coverage.
Data for computing this index was collected between May to September 2016 using 2700 experts
across the various countries. Data is publicly available online.

13. Varieties of Democracy Project 2016
Code: VDEM
Data Provider
Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) is a new approach to conceptualizing and measuring democracy. V-
Dem provide a multidimensional and disaggregated dataset that reflects the complexity of the concept of
democracy as a system of rule that goes beyond the simple presence of elections. The V-Dem project
distinguishes between seven high-level principles of democracy: electoral, liberal, participatory,
deliberative, egalitarian, majoritarian and consensual, and collects data to measure these principles.
It is a collaboration among more than 50 scholars worldwide which is co-hosted by the Department of
Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden; and the Kellogg Institute at the University of
Notre Dame, USA. With four Principal Investigators (PIs), fifteen Project Managers (PMs) with special
responsibility for issue areas, more than thirty Regional Managers (RMs), 170 Country Coordinators
(CCs), Research Assistants, and 2,500 Country Experts (CEs), the V-Dem project is one of the largest
social science data collection projects focusing on research.
V-Dem is one of the largest-ever social science data collection efforts with a database containing over
16 million data points. By April 2017, the dataset will cover 177 countries from 1900 to 2016 with annual
updates to follow.
Corruption Question(s)
Question: How pervasive is political corruption?
The directionality of the V-Dem corruption index runs from less corrupt to more corrupt (unlike the other
V-Dem variables that generally run from less democratic to more democratic situation). The corruption
index includes measures of six distinct types of corruption that cover both different areas and levels of
the polity realm, distinguishing between executive, legislative and judicial corruption. Within the
executive realm, the measures also distinguish between corruption mostly pertaining to bribery and
corruption due to embezzlement. Finally, they differentiate between corruption in the highest echelons of
the executive (at the level of the rulers/cabinet) on the one hand, and in the public sector at large on the
other. The measures thus tap into several distinguished types of corruption: both ‘petty’ and ‘grand’;
both bribery and theft; both corruption aimed and influencing law making and that affecting
implementation.
Aggregation: The index is arrived at by taking the average of (a) public sector corruption index (b)
executive corruption index (c) the indicator for legislative corruption and (d) the indicator for judicial
corruption. In other words, these four different government spheres are weighted equally in the resulting
index.
Scores
Scores are given on a continuous scale between a low of 0 to a high of 1.
Country Coverage
76 countries were scored in the 2016 update of the index with country coverage expected to rise
considerably next year.
Data availability
VDEM data can be publicly accessed through: https://www.v-dem.net/en/data/data-version-6-2/ and the

World Corruption Index and Myanmar Corruption index 2016 collection

  • 1. SURVEYS • 25 JANUARY 2017 CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX 2016 Jump to: Results table | Regional analysis | Resources Let's get straight to the point: No country gets close to a perfect score in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2016. Over two-thirds of the 176 countries and territories in this year's index fall below the midpoint of our scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). The global average score is a paltry 43, indicating endemic corruption in a country's public sector. Top-scoring countries (yellow in the map below) are far outnumbered by orange and red countries where citizens face the tangible impact of corruption on a daily basis. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
  • 2. This year’s results highlight the connection between corruption and inequality, which feed off each other to create a vicious circle between corruption, unequal distribution of power in society, and unequal distribution of wealth. In too many countries, people are deprived of their most basic needs and go to bed hungry every night because of corruption, while the powerful and corrupt enjoy lavish lifestyles with impunity.” – José Ugaz, Chair of Transparency International The interplay of corruption and inequality also feeds populism. When traditional politicians fail to tackle corruption, people grow cynical. Increasingly, people are turning to populist leaders who promise to break the cycle of corruption and privilege. Yet this is likely to exacerbate – rather than resolve – the tensions that fed the populist surge in the first place. (Read more about the linkages between corruption, inequality and populism.) More countries declined than improved in this year's results, showing the urgent need for committed action to thwart corruption. PUTTING THE SCORES IN CONTEXT The lower-ranked countries in our index are plagued by untrustworthy and badly functioning public institutions like the police and judiciary. Even where anti-corruption laws are on the books, in practice they're often skirted or ignored. People frequently face situations of bribery and extortion, rely on basic services that have been undermined by the misappropriation of funds, and confront official indifference when seeking redress from authorities that are on the take. Grand corruption thrives in such settings. Cases like Petrobras and Odebrecht in Brazil or the saga of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine show how collusion between businesses and politicians siphons off billions of dollars in revenue from national economies, benefitting the few at the expense of the many. This kind of systemic grand corruption violates human rights, prevents sustainable development and fuels social exclusion. Higher-ranked countries tend to have higher degrees of press freedom, access to information about public expenditure, stronger standards of integrity for public officials, and independent judicial systems. But high-scoring countries can't afford to be complacent, either. While the most obvious forms of corruption may not scar citizens' daily lives in all these places, the higher-ranked countries are not immune to closed-door deals, conflicts of interest, illicit finance, and patchy law MENU  OUR GLOBAL MOVEMENT POPULAR CONTENT converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Learn more about public sector corruption in your region below. Americas: From the Panama Papers in April to the record US$3.5 billion Odebrecht settlement in Brazil in December, 2016 was a good year in the fight against corruption in the Americas. But there is still a long way to go. Read more Asia Pacific: Unfortunately, the majority of Asia Pacific countries sit in the bottom half of this year’s Corruption Perceptions Index. Poor performance can be attributed to unaccountable governments, lack of oversight, insecurity and shrinking space for civil society, pushing anti-corruption action to the margins in those countries. Read more Europe and Central Asia: There are no drastic changes in Europe and Central Asia on this year’s index, with only a few exceptions. However, this does not mean that the region is immune from corruption. The stagnation also does not indicate that the fight against corruption has improved, but rather the opposite. Read more Middle East and North Africa: Despite the political changes that shook the Arab region six years ago, the hope for Arab countries to fight corruption and end impunity has not seen any progress yet. This explains the sharp drop of most of Arab countries on the 2016 index – 90 percent of these have scored below 50, which is a failing grade. Read more Sub Saharan Africa: 2016 saw elections across the African continent with the results providing a good reflection of corruption trends in the region. In Ghana, for example, voters voiced their dissatisfaction with the government's corruption record at the polls where, for the first time in Ghana's history, an incumbent president was voted out.

  • 21. SURVEYS • 25 JANUARY 2017 CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX 2016: VICIOUS CIRCLE OF CORRUPTION AND INEQUALITY MUST BE TACKLED Rise of populist politicians in many countries is a warning signal Issued by Transparency International Secretariat Translations: AR | RU | PT | ES | FR 2016 showed that around the world systemic corruption and social inequality reinforce each other, leading to popular disenchantment with political establishments and providing a fertile ground for the rise of populist politicians. 69 per cent of the 176 countries on the Corruption Perceptions Index 2016 scored below 50, on a scale from 0 (perceived to be highly corrupt) to 100 (perceived to be very clean), exposing how massive and pervasive public sector corruption is around the world. This year more countries declined in the index than improved, showing the need for urgent action. No equal opportunities for all Corruption and inequality feed off each other, creating a vicious circle between corruption, unequal distribution of power in society, and unequal distribution of wealth. As the Panama Papers showed, it is still far too easy for the rich and powerful to exploit the opaqueness of the global financial system to enrich themselves at the expense of the public good. “In too many countries, people are deprived of their most basic needs and go to bed hungry every night because of corruption, while the powerful and corrupt enjoy lavish lifestyles with impunity,” said José Ugaz, Chair of Transparency International. “We do not have the luxury of time. Corruption needs to be fought with urgency, so that the lives of people across the world improve,” added Ugaz.

This kind of systemic grand corruption violates human rights, prevents sustainable development and fuels social exclusion. Brazil’s score on the index, for example, has significantly declined compared to five years ago as one corruption scandal after another involving top politicians and businesspeople was uncovered. Yet the country has shown this year that through the work of independent law enforcement bodies it is possible to hold to account those previously considered untouchable. Populism is the wrong medicine People are fed up by too many politicians’ empty assurances to tackle corruption and many are turning towards populist politicians who promise to change the system and break the cycle of corruption and privilege. Yet this is likely to only exacerbate the issue. “In countries with populist or autocratic leaders, we often see democracies in decline and a disturbing pattern of attempts to crack down on civil society, limit press freedom, and weaken the independence of the judiciary. Instead of tackling crony capitalism, those leaders usually install even worse forms of corrupt systems,” said Ugaz. “Only where there is freedom of expression, transparency in all political processes and strong democratic institutions, can civil society and the media hold those in power to account and corruption be fought successfully.” The index scores of Hungary and Turkey – countries that have seen the rise of autocratic leaders – have dropped in recent years. In contrast, the score of Argentina, which has ousted a populist government, is starting to improve. What needs to be done Technical fixes to specific anti-corruption legislation are not enough. What is urgently needed are deep-rooted systemic reforms that even up the growing imbalance of power and wealth by empowering citizens to stop the widespread impunity for corruption, hold the powerful to account, and have a real say in the decisions that affect their daily lives. These reforms must include the disclosure through public registries of who owns companies as well as sanctions for professional enablers who are complicit in moving corrupt money flows across borders. The results The Corruption Perceptions Index 2016 covers perceptions of public sector corruption in 176 countries. Click here for the full index. Denmark and New Zealand perform best with scores of 90, closely followed by Finland (89) and Sweden (88). Although no country is free of corruption, the countries at the top share characteristics of open government, press freedom, civil liberties and independent judicial systems. For the tenth year running, Somalia is the worst performer on the index, this year scoring only 10. South Sudan is second to bottom with a score of 11, followed by North Korea (12) and Syria (13). Countries at the bottom of the index are characterised by widespread impunity for corruption, poor governance and weak institutions. Countries in troubled regions, particularly in the Middle East, have seen the most substantial drops this year. Qatar is the biggest decliner compared to the 2015 index with a drop of 10 scores. “The FIFA scandals, the converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

  • 41. 1 Corruption Perceptions Index 2016: Frequently Asked Questions What is the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI)? The CPI scores and ranks countries/territories based on how corrupt a country’s public sector is perceived to be. It is a composite index, a combination of surveys and assessments of corruption, collected by a variety of reputable institutions. The CPI is the most widely used indicator of corruption worldwide. Why is the CPI based on perceptions? Corruption generally comprises illegal activities, which are deliberately hidden and only come to light through scandals, investigations or prosecutions. There is no meaningful way to assess absolute levels of corruption in countries or territories on the basis of hard empirical data. Possible attempts to do so, such as by comparing bribes reported, the number of prosecutions brought or studying court cases directly linked to corruption, cannot be taken as definitive indicators of corruption levels. Instead, they show how effective prosecutors, the courts or the media are in investigating and exposing corruption. Capturing perceptions of corruption of those in a position to offer assessments of public sector corruption is the most reliable method of comparing relative corruption levels across countries. Which countries/territories are included in the CPI 2016 and why? For a country/territory to be included in the ranking, it must be included in a minimum of three of the CPI’s data sources. If a country is not featured in the ranking, then this is solely because of insufficient survey information and not an indication that corruption does not exist in the country. This year 176 countries and territories are included in the index, eight more than in 2015. Comparing to the 2015 CPI, Seychelles is no longer included in the 2016 CPI, but Bahamas, Barbados, Brunei, Dominica, Grenada, Maldives, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Solomon Islands enter the 2016 CPI. What are the data sources for the CPI? The 2016 CPI draws on data sources from independent institutions specialising in governance and business climate analysis. The sources of information used for the 2016 CPI are based on data gathered in the past 24 months. The CPI includes only sources that provide a score for a set of countries/territories and that measure perceptions of corruption in the public sector. Transparency International reviews the methodology of each data source in detail to ensure that the sources used meet Transparency International’s quality standards. For a full list of the data sources, the type of respondents and the specific questions asked, please see the CPI sources description document. What is the difference between a country/territory’s rank and its score? A country/territory’s score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0-100, where 0 means that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and a 100 means that a country is perceived as very clean. A country's rank indicates its
  • 42. 2 position relative to the other countries/territories included in the index. Ranks can change merely if the number of countries included in the index changes. Is the country/territory with the lowest score the world's most corrupt nation? No. The CPI is an indicator of perceptions of public sector corruption, i.e. administrative and political corruption. It is not a verdict on the levels of corruption of entire nations or societies, or of their policies, or the activities of their private sector. Citizens of those countries/territories that score at the lower end of the CPI often show the same concern about and condemnation of corruption as the public in countries that perform strongly. Further, the country/territory with the lowest score is the one where public sector corruption is perceived to be greatest among those included in the list. The CPI provides no information about countries/territories that are not included in the index. Can the score of a country in the 2016 Corruption Perceptions Index be compared with the previous year? Yes. As part of the update to the methodology used to calculate the CPI in 2012 we established the new scale of 0-100. Using this scale we can compare CPI scores from one year to the next. Because of the update in the methodology, however, CPI scores before 2012 are not comparable over time. In addition, due to the inclusion of a new data source in 2016, the scores of the underlying data sources are not comparable to previous years. For a more detailed description of the change in methodology in 2012, please see Corruption Perceptions Index – An updated Methodology for 2012. Which countries have improved/declined on the Corruption Perceptions Index this year? The biggest improvers this year are Suriname, Belarus, Timor-Leste, Myanmar, Guyana, Georgia, Laos, Argentina, North Korea, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Turkmenistan, Sao Tome and Principe and Afghanistan. The biggest decliners this year are Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi-Arabia, Cyprus, Lesotho, Jordan, Syria, Macedonia, Mexico, South Sudan, Chile, United Arab Emirates, Mauritania, Central African Republic, Netherlands, Mozambique, Trinidad and Tobago, Ghana, Yemen and Djibouti. Does the CPI tell the full story of corruption in a country? No. The CPI is limited in scope, capturing perceptions of the extent of corruption in the public sector, from the perspective of business people and country experts. Complementing this viewpoint and capturing different aspects of corruption, Transparency International produces a range of both qualitative and quantitative research on corruption, both at the global level from its Secretariat and at the national level through Transparency International’s network of national chapters based in over 100 countries around the world. Complementing the CPI, Transparency International’s other global research products include:  Global Corruption Barometer (GCB): Measuring people’s perceptions and experiences of corruption, the Global Corruption Barometer is a representative survey of people carried out worldwide.

  • 44. 1 Corruption Perceptions Index 2016: Short Methodology Note The Corruption Perceptions Index aggregates data from a number of different sources that provide perceptions of business people and country experts of the level of corruption in the public sector. The following steps are followed to calculate the CPI: 1. Select data sources: Each data source that is used to construct the Corruption Perceptions Index must fulfil the following criteria to qualify as a valid source:  Quantifies perceptions of corruption in the public sector  Be based on a reliable and valid methodology, which scores and ranks multiple countries on the same scale  Performed by a credible institution and expected to be repeated regularly  Allow for sufficient variation of scores to distinguish between countries The CPI 2016 is calculated using 13 different data sources from 12 different institutions that capture perceptions of corruption within the past two years. These sources are described in detail in the accompanying source description document. 2. Standardise data sources to a scale of 0-100 where a 0 equals the highest level of perceived corruption and 100 equals the lowest level of perceived corruption. This is done by subtracting the mean of the data set and dividing by the standard deviation and results in z-scores, which are then adjusted to have a mean of approximately 45 and a standard deviation of approximately 20 so that the data set fits the CPI’s 0-100 scale. The mean and standard deviation are taken from the 2012 scores, so that the rescaled scores can be compared over time against the baseline year. 3. Calculate the average: For a country or territory to be included in the CPI, a minimum of three sources must assess that country. A country’s CPI score is then calculated as the average of all standardised scores available for that country. Scores are rounded to whole numbers. 4. Report a measure of uncertainty: The CPI is accompanied by a standard error and confidence interval associated with the score, which capture the variation in scores of the data sources available for that country/territory.
  • 45. 1 Corruption Perceptions Index 2016: Technical Methodology Note Background The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) was established in 1995 as a composite indicator used to measure perceptions of corruption in the public sector in different countries around the world. During the past 20 years, both the sources used to compile the index and the methodology has been adjusted and refined. The most recent review process took place in 20121 , and some important changes were made to the methodology in 2012. The method that was used up until 2012 to aggregate different data sources has been simplified and now includes just one year’s data from each data source. Crucially, this method now allows us to compare scores over time, which was not methodologically possible prior to 2012. Methodology The methodology follows 4 basic steps: selection of source data, rescaling source data, aggregating the rescaled data and then reporting a measure for uncertainty. 1. Selection of data sources The CPI draws upon a number of available sources which capture perceptions of corruption. Each source is evaluated against the criteria listed below. Contact has been made with each institution providing data in order to verify the methodology used to generate scores and for permission to publish the rescaled scores from each source, alongside the composite index score. A) Reliable data collection and methodology from a credible institution: It is necessary that we trust the validity of the data we are using. As such, each source should originate from a professional institution that clearly documents its methods for data collection. These methods should be methodologically sound, for example, where an ‘expert opinion’ is being provided, we seek assurance on the qualifications of the expert or where a business survey is being conducted, that the survey sample is representative. B) Data addresses corruption in the public sector: The question or analysis should relate to a perception of the level of corruption explicitly in the public sector. The question can relate to a defined ‘type’ of corruption (e.g. specifically petty corruption), and where appropriate, the effectiveness of 1 The methodology used to calculate the CPI 2016 builds on the work examining alternative approaches for constructing the CPI carried out by Prof. Andrew Gelman: Professor, Department of Statistics and Department of Political Science, Columbia University and Dr Piero Stanig: Fellow, Methodology Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science. This work was presented to Transparency International in a report that is available on request. Please email Santhosh Srinivasan at ssrinivasan@transparency.org.
  • 46. 2 corruption prevention as this can be used as a proxy for the perceived level of corruption in the country. C) Quantitative granularity: The scales used by the data sources must allow for sufficient differentiation in the data (i.e., at least a four-point scale) on the perceived levels of corruption across countries so that it can be rescaled to the CPI’s 0-100 scale. D) Cross country comparability: As the CPI ranks countries against each other, the source data must also be legitimately comparable between countries and not be country specific. The source should measure the same thing in each country scored, on the same scale. E) Multi year data-set: We want to be able to compare a country’s score, and indeed the index in general, from one year to the next. Sources that capture corruption perceptions for a single point in time, but that are not designed to be repeated over time, are therefore excluded. 2. Standardise data sources Each source is then standardised to be compatible with other available sources, for aggregation to the CPI scale. The standardisation converts all the data sources to a scale of 0-100 where a 0 = highest level of perceived corruption, and 100 = lowest level of perceived corruption. Any source that is scaled such that lower scores represent lower levels of corruption must first be reversed. This is done by multiplying every score in the data set by -1. Every score is then standardised (to a z score) by subtracting the mean of the data and dividing by the standard deviation. This results in a data set centred around 0 and with a standard deviation of 1. For these z scores to be comparable between data sets, we must define the mean and standard deviation parameters as global parameters. Therefore where a data set covers a limited range of countries, we impute scores for all those countries that are missing in the respective data set. We impute missing values for missing countries in each data set using the statistical software package STATA and, more specifically, the programme’s impute command. This command regresses each data set against the CPI data sources that are at least 50% complete to estimate values for each country that is missing data in each individual data set. This is with the exception of the Bertelsmann Foundation’s Transformation Index data, which is not used for the imputation of the Bertelsmann Foundation’s Sustainable Governance Indicators because there is no overlap in country coverage of these two data sources. The mean and standard deviation for the data set is calculated as an average of the complete data sets and is used as the parameter to standardise the raw data. Importantly, the complete data set with imputed values is used only to generate these parameters and the imputed values themselves are not used as source data for CPI country scores. Critically, the z scores are calculated using the mean and standard deviation parameters from the imputed 2012 scores. This is so that 2012 is effectively the baseline year for the data and the rescaled scores can be comparable year on year. When new sources enter the index, in order to appropriately reflect changes over time, the rescaling calculation allows for these to be consistent with 2012 baseline parameters. This is done by first estimating if there was a global change in the mean
  • 47. 3 and standard deviation since 2012, and then using these new values, which may have deviated from 50 and 20 to rescale the new data set.2 The z scores are then rescaled to fit the CPI scale between 0-100. This uses a simple rescaling formula, which sets the mean value of the standardised dataset to approximately 45, and the standard deviation of approximately 20. Any score which exceeds the 0 to 100 boundaries will be capped. 3. Aggregate the rescaled data Each country’s CPI score is calculated as a simple average of all the available rescaled scores for that country (note, we do not use any of the imputed values as a score for the aggregated CPI). A country will only be given a score if there are at least three data sources available from which to calculate this average. 4. Report a measure of uncertainty The CPI score is reported alongside a standard error and 90% confidence interval which reflects the variance in the value of the source data that comprises the CPI score. The standard error term is calculated as the standard deviation of the rescaled source data, divided by the square root of the number of sources. Using this standard error, we can calculate the 90% confidence interval, assuming a normal distribution. 2 Since a new data source was added to the CPI, the above procedure was used to check if there was a change in the mean and standard deviation since 2012. We established that the mean and standard deviation had not changed and thereby maintaining year on year comparison of CPI scores.

African Development Bank Governance Ratings 2015 Code: AFDB Data Provider The African Development Bank (AFDB) is a regional multilateral development bank, engaged in promoting the economic development and social progress of countries on the continent. The AfDB’s 2015 Governance Ratings are part of the Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA), which assesses the quality of a country’s institutional framework in terms of how conducive it is to fostering the effective use of development assistance. The current CPIA strives to achieve a maximum level of uniformity and consistency across all regional member countries surveyed. Also, and in order to comply with the Paris and Rome declarations on Aid Effectiveness, Harmonization and Alignment, the AfDB has modified the questionnaire and guidelines for its CPIA to be in line with those of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, thus increasing the comparability and synergy among systems. The CPIA is carried out by a group of country economists with vast experience in policy analysis. The knowledge of these experts is complemented with that of local contacts that provide both quantitative and qualitative insights. Peer discussions are also used to monitor the quality of the findings. Corruption Question(s) Experts are asked to assess: Transparency, Accountability and Corruption in the Public Sector. “This criterion assesses the extent to which the executive can be held accountable for its use of funds and the results of its actions by the electorate and by the legislature and judiciary, and the extent to which public employees within the executive are required to account for the use of resources, administrative decisions, and results obtained. Both levels of accountability are enhanced by transparency in decision making, public audit institutions, access to relevant and timely information, and public and media scrutiny. A high degree of accountability and transparency discourages corruption, or the abuse of public office for private gain. National and sub-national governments should be appropriately weighted. Each of three dimensions should be rated separately: (a) the accountability of the executive to oversight institutions and of public employees for their performance; (b) access of civil society to information on public affairs; and (c) state capture by narrow vested interests.” The questionnaire for CPIA assessment can be accessed here: https://cpia.afdb.org/documents/public/cpia2015-questionnaire-en.pdf Scores The rating scale ranges from 1 (very weak for two or more years) to 6 (very strong for three or more years) and allows for half point intermediate scores (e.g.3.5). The score is an aggregate of the three dimensions of corruption across national and sub-national government institutions in the country. Country Coverage 38 African countries are covered. Countries are scored in terms of their performance during the year of the rating vis-à-vis the criteria, which are included in the CPIA Manual for Drafters and updated every year. The CPIA is a three-phase process involving i) the rating of countries by country teams; iii) the review of all ratings by sector experts; and iii) the endorsement of final ratings at open discussions between country teams and reviewers Data availability The data set has been published annually since 2005. The 2015 Governance Ratings were compiled during 2015 and published in March 2016. The data is publicly available online in the Bank’s web page, https://cpia.afdb.org/?page=data

As a think tank they work toward improved education, a just and efficient economic system, a preventative healthcare system, a vibrant civil society and greater international understanding. The Bertelsmann Stiftung is independent and nonpartisan. It designs, launches and runs its own projects. The Sustainable Governance Indicators (SGI) examine governance and policymaking in all OECD and EU member states in order to evaluate each country's need for, and ability to carry out, reform. The indicators are calculated using quantitative data from international organisations and then supplemented by qualitative assessments from recognised country experts. Corruption Question(s) Experts are asked to assess: “To what extent are public officeholders prevented from abusing their position for private interests?” This question addresses how the state and society prevent public servants and politicians from accepting bribes by applying mechanisms to guarantee the integrity of officeholders: auditing of state spending; regulation of party financing; citizen and media access to information; accountability of officeholders (asset declarations, conflict of interest rules, codes of conduct); transparent public procurement systems; effective prosecution of corruption. Scores are given from:  a low of 1 to 2, where 'Public officeholders can exploit their offices for private gain as they see fit without fear of legal consequences or adverse publicity'  to a high of 9 to 10, where 'Legal, political and public integrity mechanisms effectively prevent public officeholders from abusing their positions.' Scores Scores are given on a scale of 1 (highest level of corruption) to 10 (lowest level of corruption). Country Coverage All 41 OECD and EU countries were scored. The quantitative data are compiled centrally by the SGI project team from official, publicly accessible statistics (primarily from OECD sources). The qualitative data are captured and examined by a worldwide network of around 100 respected researchers. The SGI Codebook, a detailed questionnaire, provides a clear explanation for each of the questions, so that all experts share a common understanding of the questions (http://www.sgi-network.org/docs/2016/basics/SGI2016_Codebook.pdf).

As a think tank they work toward improved education, a just and efficient economic system, a preventative healthcare system, a vibrant civil society and greater international understanding. The Bertelsmann Stiftung is independent and nonpartisan. It designs, launches and runs its own projects. The Transformation Index provides the framework for an exchange of good practice among agents of reform. Within this framework, the BTI publishes two rankings, the Status Index and the Management Index, both of which are based on in-depth assessments of 129 countries. The scores are based on detailed country reports which assess 52 questions divided into 17 criteria. Assessments are provided by two experts per country. Country assessments consist of two sections: the written assessment of the state of transformation and management performance in a country (country report) and the numerical assessment of the state of transformation and management performance (country ratings). Scores are given by a country expert, which are then reviewed blind by a second country expert who also provides a second independent rating of the country. These scores by experts are then verified and discussed by regional coordinators to ensure intra and inter-regional comparability in ratings. In addition, BF has also instituted an extra layer of verification to ensure the scores provided match the qualitative descriptions for each country. Corruption Question(s) Experts are asked to assess: “To what extent are public officeholders who abuse their positions prosecuted or penalized?” Assessments range from:  a low of 1, where 'Officeholders who break the law and engage in corruption can do so without fear of legal consequences or adverse publicity.'  to a high of 10, where 'Officeholders who break the law and engage in corruption are prosecuted rigorously under established laws and always attract adverse publicity.' “To what extent does the government successfully contain corruption?” Assessments range from:  from a low of 1, where 'The government fails to contain corruption, and there are no integrity mechanisms in place.'  to a high of 10, where 'The government is successful in containing corruption, and all integrity mechanisms are in place and effective.' Scores Scores are assigned on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the lowest level of corruption and 1 being the highest. The score for each country is an average of the two questions.

Since then, it has grown into a global research and advisory firm that produces business intelligence for policy makers worldwide. 650 full-time and contributing analysts work in and on over 200 countries/territories. Country Risk Ratings are designed to provide in-depth and timely analysis of the risks of financial exposure in more than 140 countries. The EIU relies on teams of experts based primarily in London (but also in New York, Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai) who are supported by a global network of in-country specialists. Each country analyst covers a maximum of two or three countries/territories. The economic and political reports produced by EIU analysts are subjected to a rigorous review process before publication. Corruption Question(s) Specific guiding questions include:  Are there clear procedures and accountability governing the allocation and use of public funds?  Are public funds misappropriated by ministers/public officials for private or party political purposes?  Are there special funds for which there is no accountability?  Are there general abuses of public resources?  Is there a professional civil service or are large numbers of officials directly appointed by the government?  Is there an independent body auditing the management of public finances?  Is there an independent judiciary with the power to try ministers/public officials for abuses?  Is there a tradition of a payment of bribes to secure contracts and gain favours? Scores Scores are given as integers on a scale from 0 (very low incidence of corruption) to 4 (very high incidence of corruption). Country Coverage 129 countries/territories were scored in 2016.

Each report focuses on the following thematic areas: national democratic governance; electoral process; civil society; independent media; local democratic governance; judicial framework and independence; and corruption. The NIT surveys were produced by Freedom House staff and consultants. The latter were recommended by relevant authorities and are regional or country specialists. A range of sources were used in compiling the report, including: multilateral lending institutions; non-governmental organisations; and other international organisations; local newspapers and magazines; and select government data. Corruption Question(s) The Freedom House experts are asked to explore a range of indicative questions, including:  Has the government implemented effective anti-corruption initiatives?  Is the government free from excessive bureaucratic regulations, registration requirements, and other controls that increase opportunities for corruption?  Are there adequate laws requiring financial disclosure and disallowing conflict of interest?  Does the government advertise jobs and contracts?  Does the state enforce an effective legislative or administrative process—particularly one that is free of prejudice against one’s political opponents—to prevent, investigate, and prosecute the corruption of government officials and civil servants?  Do whistleblowers, anti-corruption activists, investigators, and journalists enjoy legal protections that make them feel secure about reporting cases of bribery and corruption? Scores Ratings run from 1 (lowest level of corruption) to 7 (highest level of corruption) and allow for half-point and quarter-point intermediate scores (e.g. 3.25). The score is a generalised composite measure of corruption that includes an assessment of all areas covered by the indicative questions. Country Coverage 29 countries/territories were ranked in 2016. Country scores are reviewed at the regional level and then centrally by the Freedom House academic advisory board. Data availability The report has been published annually since 2003. The 2016 Nations in Transit data coverage is from 1 January through 31 December 2015. The data is publicly available online. https://freedomhouse.org/report/nations-transit/nations-transit-2016

Global Insight Country Risk Ratings 2015 Code: GI Data Provider Founded in 1959, IHS is a global information company employing more than 5,100 people in more than 30 countries around the world. It provides a wide range of online services covering macroeconomics, country risk and individual sector analysis. The Global Insight country risk rating system has been in operation since 1999 and provides a six-factor analysis of the risk environment in over 200 countries/territories. The six factors are political, economic, legal, tax operational and security risk. The corruption risk score used in the CPI is drawn from Global Insight Business Condition and Risk Indicators. The assessments are made by over 100 in-house country specialists, who also draw on the expert opinions of in-country freelancers, clients and other contacts. The ratings reflect IHS Global Insights expert perceptions of the comparative level of the problem in each country/territory. The ratings assess the broad range of corruption, from petty bribe-paying to higher-level political corruption and the scores assigned to each country are based on a qualitative assessment of corruption in each country/territory. Corruption Question(s) Experts are asked to assess: The risk that individuals/companies will face bribery or other corrupt practices to carry out business, from securing major contracts to being allowed to import/export a small product or obtain everyday paperwork. This threatens a company's ability to operate in a country, or opens it up to legal or regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Scores The ratings range from a minimum of 1.0 (maximum corruption) to 5.0 (minimum corruption) and allow for half-point intermediate scores (e.g. 3.5). Country Coverage 204 countries/territories worldwide are scored. Scores provided by country analysts are reviewed and benchmarked by IHS Global Insight's risk specialists at both the regional and global level. Data availability The Country Risk Rating System has been available since 1999 and is continuously maintained. The data for CPI 2016 from IHS Global Insight was accessed through the World Bank World Governance Indicators portal, as IHS Global Insight stopped providing data to Transparency International since 2015.

IMD is ranked first in open programs worldwide (Financial Times 2012 & 2013) and first in executive education outside the US (Financial Times 2008 - 2013). (www.imd.org) The World Competitiveness Yearbook (WCY) measures the competitiveness of nations and, in doing so, both ranks and examines how a nation’s socio-political and economic climate affects corporate competitiveness. The study uses 333 criteria in order to obtain a multifaceted image of the competitiveness of nations, defined as following: “Competitiveness of nations is a field of economic knowledge, which analyses the facts and policies that shape the ability of a nation to create and maintain an environment that sustains more value creation for its enterprises and more prosperity for its people.” The WCY largely includes hard data but also a survey of senior business leaders who, together, reflect a cross-section of a nation’s corporate community. IMD calls upon local and foreign enterprises operating in a given economy, and surveys both nationals and expatriates, so as to add an international perspective on local environments. In 2016, 5480 business executives responded. The IMD World Competitiveness Centre works in collaboration with 54 partner institutes around the world to assure the validity and relevance of data. https://www.imd.org/wcc/research-methodology/ Corruption Question Survey respondents were asked: “Bribing and corruption: Exist or do not exist”. Scores Answers are given on a 1 - 6 scale which is then converted to a 0 - 10 scale where 0 is the highest level of perceived corruption and 10 is the lowest. https://www.imd.org/uupload/imd.website/wcc/Survey_Explanation.pdf Country Coverage 61 countries/territories around the world were scored in 2016.

Political and Economic Risk Consultancy 2016 Code: PERC Data Provider The Political and Economic Risk Consultancy or PERC is a consulting firm specialising in strategic business information and analysis for companies doing business in the countries of East and Southeast Asia. As part of its services, PERC produces a range of risk reports on Asian countries, paying special attention to critical socio-political variables like corruption, intellectual property rights and risks, labour quality, and other systemic strengths and weakness of individual Asian countries/territories. PERC publishes fortnightly newsletters, which are available to subscribers, on a number of issues. The data for the CPI was gathered from the corruption newsletter, which gathers and interprets data from an executive opinion survey of local and expatriate businesspeople. All responses were either collected in face-to-face interviews or in response to e-mails directed to specific people obtained from different national business chambers, conferences, and personal name lists. All respondents provided scores and comments only for the country in which they are currently residing. Respondents for each country include local business executives who are nationals of the countries, academics and expatriate executives. Corruption Question(s) The following three questions were asked: First, how do you grade the problem of corruption in the country in which you are working? Second, has corruption decreased, stayed the same or increased compared with one year ago? Third, what aspects or implications of corruption in your country stand out to you as being particularly important? For the CPI only the first question: how do you grade the problem of corruption in the country in which you are working was used. Scores Answers to the question were scaled from 0 (not a problem) to 10 (a serious problem). Country Coverage 15 Asian countries/territories plus the Unites States were surveyed in 2016. The same questions and survey methodology were employed in each country surveyed. Data availability The survey dates back 20 years and is conducted annually. The data used for the CPI 2016 was gathered in a survey carried out between January 2016 and March 2016 and published in April 2016. The data is available to subscribers. http://www.asiarisk.com/

Political Risk Services International Country Risk Guide 2016 Code: PRS Data Provider Based in the vicinity of Syracuse, New York, since its founding in 1979, Political Risk Services (PRS) has consistently focused on political risk analysis. On a monthly basis since 1980, their International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) has produced political, economic, and financial risk ratings for countries/territories important to international business. The ICRG now monitors 140 countries/territories. ICRG ratings form the basis of an early warning system for opportunities and pitfalls, country-by-country. ICRG staff collect political information and convert it to risk points on the basis of a consistent pattern of evaluation. Political risk assessments and other political information form the basis of ICRG risk ratings. It is therefore possible for the user to check through the information and data so as to assess the ratings against their own assessments, or against some other risk ratings system. Corruption Question(s) This is an assessment of corruption within the political system. The most common form of corruption met directly by businesses is financial corruption in the form of demands for special payments and bribes connected with import and export licenses, exchange controls, tax assessments, police protection, or loans. The measure is most concerned with actual or potential corruption in the form of excessive patronage, nepotism, job reservations, exchange of favours, secret party funding, and suspiciously close ties between politics and business. Scores The corruption scores are given on a scale of 0 (highest potential risk) to 6 (lowest potential risk). Country Coverage The ICRG provides ratings for 140 countries on a monthly basis. To ensure consistency both between countries/territories and over time, points are assigned by ICRG editors on the basis of a series of pre-set questions for each risk component. Data availability The ICRG model was created in 1980 and the data is made available on a monthly basis. The CPI 2016 data is an aggregate of quarterly assessments covering the period of August 2015 to August 2016.

World Bank Country Policy and Institutional Assessment 2015 Code: WB Data Provider The World Bank was established in 1944, is headquartered in Washington, D.C and has more than 10,000 employees in more than 100 offices worldwide. The World Bank is made up of two development institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA).The IBRD aims to reduce poverty in middle-income and creditworthy poorer countries, while IDA focuses on the world's poorest countries. The CPIA rates all IDA-eligible countries against a set of 16 criteria grouped in four clusters: (a) economic management; (b) structural policies; (c) policies for social inclusion and equity; and (d) public sector management and institutions. The criteria are focused on balancing the capture of those factors critical to fostering growth and poverty reduction against avoiding undue burden on the assessment process. The ratings are the product of staff judgment and do not necessarily reflect the views of the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors or the governments they represent. The Bank has prepared guidance to help staff assess country performance, by providing a definition of each criterion and a detailed description of each rating level. Bank staff assess the countries’ actual performance on each of the criteria, and assign a rating. The ratings reflect a variety of indicators, observations, and judgments based on country knowledge, originating with the Bank or elsewhere, and on relevant publicly available indicators. Corruption Question(s) Experts are asked to assess: Transparency, Accountability and Corruption in the Public Sector. “This criterion assesses the extent to which the executive can be held accountable for its use of funds and the results of its actions by the electorate and by the legislature and judiciary, and the extent to which public employees within the executive are required to account for the use of resources, administrative decisions, and results obtained. Both levels of accountability are enhanced by transparency in decision making, public audit institutions, access to relevant and timely information, and public and media scrutiny. A high degree of accountability and transparency discourages corruption, or the abuse of public office for private gain. National and sub-national governments should be appropriately weighted. Each of three dimensions should be rated separately: (a) accountability of the executive to oversight institutions and of public employees for their performance; (b) access of civil society to information on public affairs; and (c) state capture by narrow vested interests.” http://pubdocs.worldbank.org/pubdocs/publicdoc/2015/6/559351435159340828/cpia14-webFAQ14.pdf Scores The rating scale ranges from 1 (low levels of transparency) to 6 (high levels of transparency) and allows for half-point intermediate scores (eg. 3.5). The score is an aggregate of the three dimensions of corruption across national and sub-national government institutions in the country/territory. Country Coverage 76 countries were scored in the CPIA 2015. The process of preparing the ratings involves two phases: (a) the benchmarking phase, in which a small, representative, sample of countries is rated in an intensive Bank-wide process; and (b) a second phase, in which the remaining countries are rated using the derived benchmark ratings as guideposts. The process is managed by the Bank’s Operations Policy and Country Services Vice-Presidency. Data availability First released in 2005 in its current form, the CPIA is now an annual exercise. The ratings process typically starts in the fall and is concluded in the spring of the following year. The scores disclosed in June 2016 (the 2015 CPIA exercise) cover 2015 country performance.

World Economic Forum Executive Opinion Survey (EOS) 2016 Code: WEF Data Provider The World Economic Forum is an independent international organisation committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. Incorporated as a not-for-profit foundation in 1971, and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the Forum is not tied to political, partisan or national interests. The Executive Opinion Survey (EOS) is the World Economic Forum's annual survey of business executives. The survey has evolved over time to capture new data points essential to the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) and other Forum indexes. The Forum's Global Competitiveness and Benchmarking Network works closely with a network of over 160 Partner Institutes that administer the survey in their respective countries/territories. They are selected because of their capacity to reach out to leading business executives as well as their understanding of the national business environment and their commitment to the Forum's research on competitiveness. The Partner Institutes are, for the most part, well-respected economics departments of national universities, independent research institutes or business organisations. The surveys are conducted according to detailed guidelines aiming at collecting a sample stratified by sector of activity and company size. The EOS administration process is reviewed on a yearly basis and underwent an external review in 2008 and 2012 by a renowned survey expert consultancy. See chapter 1.3 of the Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014 for further details www.weforum.org/gcr. Corruption Question(s) Survey respondents were asked: (On a scale of 1 - 7 where 1 means very common and 7 means never) “In your country, how common is it for firms to make undocumented extra payments or bribes connected with the following”: a) Imports and exports; b) Public Utilities; c) Annual Tax Payments; d) Awarding of public contracts and licenses; e) Obtaining favourable judicial decisions. (on a scale of 1 - 7 where 1 means very common and 7 means never) “In your country, how common is diversion of public funds to companies, individuals or groups due to corruption?” Scores Each question is scored by respondents on a scale of 1 - 7. The results of parts a) to e) of the first question were aggregated into a single score. The results of the first and second question were then averaged across all respondents to give a score per country/territory. Country Coverage In 2016 the survey captured the views of business executives in 134 economies. Data from the 2015 survey was used for 7 countries: Egypt, Guyana, Haiti, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Nicaragua and Swaziland. The survey is conducted in each country/territory according to the sampling guidelines and therefore in a consistent manner across the globe during the same time of year. Data availability The World Economic Forum has conducted its annual survey for more than 30 years. The data was gathered in a survey conducted between January and June 2016. Some aggregated data is available in the appendix of the Global Competitiveness Report, the micro-level data is provided to TI by the World Economic Forum. http://www.weforum.org/

World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2016 Code: WJP Data Provider The World Justice Project (WJP) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation working to advance the rule of law for the development of communities of opportunity and equity. The WJP’s multi-national, multi-disciplinary efforts are dedicated to developing practical programmes in support of the rule of law around the world. The work of the WJP is based on two complementary premises: the rule of law is the foundation for communities of opportunity and equity, and multi-disciplinary collaboration is the most effective way to advance the rule of law. The WJP Rule of Law Index is an assessment tool designed by The World Justice Project to offer a detailed and comprehensive picture of the extent to which countries/territories adhere to the rule of law in practice. The Index provides detailed information and original data regarding a variety of dimensions of the rule of law, which enables stakeholders to assess a nation’s adherence to the rule of law in practice, identify a nation’s strengths and weaknesses in comparison to similarly situated countries, and track changes over time. The Index’s rankings and scores are the product of a rigorous data collection and aggregation process. Data comes from a global poll of the general public and detailed questionnaires administered to local experts. To date, over 2,000 experts and 66,000 other individuals from around the world have participated in this project. Corruption Question(s) A total of 68 questions are asked of experts and respondents from the general population (53 and 15 targeted to each group respectively) on the extent to which government officials use public office for private gain. These questions touch on a variety of sectors within government including the public health system, regulatory agencies, the police, and the courts. Individual questions are aggregated into four sub-indices:  Government officials in the executive branch do not use public office for private gain  Government officials in the judicial branch do not use public office for private gain  Government officials in the police and the military do not use public office for private gain  Government officials in the legislature do not use public office for private gain Only the scores provided by the experts were considered for the CPI calculations. Scores Scores are given on a continuous scale between from a low of 0 to a high of 1. Country Coverage 113 countries were scored in the 2016 Rule of Law index. The Index is deliberately intended to be applied in countries with vastly differing social, cultural, economic, and political systems. Data availability The first edition was published in 2010, with slight variation in methodology and country coverage. Data for computing this index was collected between May to September 2016 using 2700 experts across the various countries. Data is publicly available online. http://worldjusticeproject.org/rule-of-law-index/ http://worldjusticeproject.org/sites/default/files/media/rolindex2016_methodology.pdf

V- Dem provide a multidimensional and disaggregated dataset that reflects the complexity of the concept of democracy as a system of rule that goes beyond the simple presence of elections. The V-Dem project distinguishes between seven high-level principles of democracy: electoral, liberal, participatory, deliberative, egalitarian, majoritarian and consensual, and collects data to measure these principles. It is a collaboration among more than 50 scholars worldwide which is co-hosted by the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden; and the Kellogg Institute at the University of Notre Dame, USA. With four Principal Investigators (PIs), fifteen Project Managers (PMs) with special responsibility for issue areas, more than thirty Regional Managers (RMs), 170 Country Coordinators (CCs), Research Assistants, and 2,500 Country Experts (CEs), the V-Dem project is one of the largest social science data collection projects focusing on research. V-Dem is one of the largest-ever social science data collection efforts with a database containing over 16 million data points. By April 2017, the dataset will cover 177 countries from 1900 to 2016 with annual updates to follow. Corruption Question(s) Question: How pervasive is political corruption? The directionality of the V-Dem corruption index runs from less corrupt to more corrupt (unlike the other V-Dem variables that generally run from less democratic to more democratic situation). The corruption index includes measures of six distinct types of corruption that cover both different areas and levels of the polity realm, distinguishing between executive, legislative and judicial corruption. Within the executive realm, the measures also distinguish between corruption mostly pertaining to bribery and corruption due to embezzlement. Finally, they differentiate between corruption in the highest echelons of the executive (at the level of the rulers/cabinet) on the one hand, and in the public sector at large on the other. The measures thus tap into several distinguished types of corruption: both ‘petty’ and ‘grand’; both bribery and theft; both corruption aimed and influencing law making and that affecting implementation. Aggregation: The index is arrived at by taking the average of (a) public sector corruption index (b) executive corruption index (c) the indicator for legislative corruption and (d) the indicator for judicial corruption. In other words, these four different government spheres are weighted equally in the resulting index. Scores Scores are given on a continuous scale between a low of 0 to a high of 1. Country Coverage 76 countries were scored in the 2016 update of the index with country coverage expected to rise considerably next year.
