Countries by Corruption Perceptions Index 2024

About This Dataset

Countries ranked by Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) in 2024, scored from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). Denmark, Finland, and New Zealand have consistently topped the index as the world's least corrupt countries since the CPI's introduction in 1995.

✨ AI Insight

The gap between the top-ranked Denmark (90) and the next contender, Finland (87), suggests a significant benchmark for anti-corruption efforts, as only three points separate these leaders. Notably, while New Zealand (85) remains a strong performer, countries like Norway (84) and Singapore (83) are also close behind, indicating a competitive landscape among the top five. The consistency of these nations in the CPI over the years can likely be attributed to robust legal frameworks, active civil societies, and effective governance practices. In contrast, countries further down the index may struggle with systemic issues that hinder their transparency efforts, highlighting the ongoing global challenge of corruption.
