Corruption Perceptions Index 2020 Long-term regional trends 2012-2020 video

BRISBANE, Australia - Feb. 2, 2021 - PRLog -- Long-term regional corruption trends for the period 2012 to 2020 for 175 countries are presented in a video published two days ago by PFMConnect using country corruption scores published by Transparency International in their 2012 and 2020 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) reports. Trends in average global and regional CPI scores are also presented.

The analysis uses the regional classifications employed by Transparency International namely Africa, Americas, Asia Pacific, Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Middle East and North Africa together with Western Europe and European Union. Additional analyses are provided for the Commonwealth of Nations (including Commonwealth Africa and Commonwealth Caribbean countries), the OECD and small island developing states.

Only three of the seven regions reported overall improvements in corruption outcomes in terms of net increases in the number of countries recording higher CPI scores in 2020 compared with those recorded in 2012.

While little material overall improvement in the average global CPI scores has been achieved since 2012, the average CPI score in 2020 was the highest in the period 2012-2020 by a small margin.
