# Corruption Perceptions Index 2024 URL: https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/corruption-perceptions-index-2024 Type: Publication or report Published: 2025-02-06 Updated: 2026-10-06 --- 06 February 2025 Corruption affects billions of people worldwide, destroying lives, undermining human rights and exacerbating global crises. It blocks real action where it’s needed most – stalling critical policies, enabling impunity, and fuelling inequalities. Backed by sophisticated international money-laundering networks, large-scale corruption empowers autocrats, illicitly enriches private actors and weakens democracy everywhere. No nation is immune to this problem, and ignoring corruption comes at a cost we can no longer afford. Every country has a role to play in stopping it. The Corruption Perceptions Index scores 180 countries and territories according to the levels of public-sector corruption perceived by experts and businesspeople. It relies on 13 independent data sources and uses a scale of zero to 100, where zero is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean. This publication presents the full results as well as a global analysis of corruption. It also explores the harmful effect corruption has on climate action. ### Related publications ## [Regional Assessment of Integrity in Political Finance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/integrity-political-finance-asia) Publication • 03 September 2026 This report reviews systems across 17 countries to identify the areas of political finance most in need of reform. ## [Connecting the Dots: How financial intelligence units expose corrupt money flows and how they could do more](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/connecting-the-dots) Publication • 24 June 2026 Financial intelligence units can play a key role in uncovering corruption, but only if they have the powers, resources and access to information they need. ## [Whistleblowing Authorities in Europe: Roles, challenges and lessons learned](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/whistleblowing-authorities-in-europe-roles-challenges-and-lessons-learned) Publication • 19 June 2026 This report examines the institutional design, mandates and functioning of national whistleblowing authorities across Europe. ## [Strengthening Public Oversight: Good practices for partnerships between civil society and supreme audit institutions](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/strengthening-public-oversight-good-practices-for-partnerships-between-civil-society-and-supreme-audit-institutions) Publication • 29 May 2026 Stronger collaboration between Supreme Audit Institutions and Civil Society Organisations is needed for better public financial oversight. ![Illustrated cover of the Corruption Perceptions Index 2024 Report](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/Report_CPI2024_EN_Page_01_2025-02-06-153724_cimv.jpg?auto=compress&fit=crop&fm=webp&w=1200) [Download](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/CPI2024_Report_English_2025-10-31-144428_sklb.pdf)
