Mongolia Climbs 7 Spots in Corruption Perceptions Index
Transparency International Releases 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index
Transparency International has just unveiled its 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), a crucial tool in assessing public sector corruption across the globe. This index provides a comprehensive overview of 180 countries and territories, utilizing data from 13 external sources to rank nations based on perceived corruption levels.
The latest CPI report highlights the pervasive nature of corruption worldwide, while also shedding light on the positive strides being made in numerous countries. Additionally, research indicates that corruption poses a significant threat to climate action, impeding efforts to combat emissions and address the impacts of global warming.
Countries are ranked on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean), with 32 nations showing marked improvement in reducing corruption since 2012. However, the report also reveals that 148 countries have either stagnated or regressed in their anti-corruption efforts during the same period. With the global average score remaining at 43 for years and the majority of countries scoring below 50, it is evident that corruption continues to compromise human rights and quality of life for billions worldwide.
According to the 2024 CPI, Mongolia received a score of 33 out of 100, placing it 114th out of 180 countries. While the country did not see any changes in its score from last year, Mongolia did improve its ranking by seven spots. This advancement signifies progress in the fight against corruption within the nation.
The release of the 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against corruption and the critical importance of transparency and accountability in governance. As countries strive to root out corruption and promote integrity, the CPI offers valuable insights to guide future anti-corruption efforts on a global scale.
