Transparency International

The latest corruption perceptions data covering 2017 was released overnight by Transparency International, making it the 25th year such data has been available. New Atlas has been reporting TI's annual corruption data now for 18 years and sadly, very little has changed.

The "Corruption Perceptions Index" scores countries out of 100 for their public sector honesty, and the just-released 2016 report paints a bleak picture. More countries declined than improved and just 54 countries scored better than 50.
