Transparency International released on 11 February 2025 the findings of its 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) that show the Dominican Republic improved one rank over 2023. In its wrap-up on the index, TI includes the DR among seven countries that \u201chave significantly improved their scores in the index.\u201d The scores represent the opinions of experts and business specialists, not the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seven countries with noted improvements according to TI are: Cote d\u2019Ivoire (45), Dominican Republic (36), Kosovo (44), Kuwait (46), Maldives (38), Moldova (43) and Zambia (39). The DR is now ranked 104th of 180 countries that are part of the evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In launching the update, Transparency International says that global corruption levels remain alarmingly high, and efforts to reduce them are faltering. The global average on the index has remained unchanged at 43, highlighting the need for urgent action against corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CPI ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption on a scale of zero (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).
\u2022 Almost 6.8 billion people live in countries with CPI scores under 50. This is equivalent to 85% of the world population of 8 billion.
\u2022 For the seventh year in a row, Denmark obtains the highest score on the index (90) and is closely followed by Finland (88) and Singapore (84).
\u2022 Countries with the lowest scores are mostly in fragile and conflict-affected countries like South Sudan (8), Somalia (9), Venezuela (10), Syria (12), Libya (13), Eritrea (13), Yemen (13) and Equatorial Guinea (13).
\u2022 Over a quarter of the countries in the sample (47) got their lowest score yet on the index, including Austria (67), Bangladesh (23), Brazil (34), Cuba (41), France (67), Germany (75), Haiti (16), Hungary (41), Iran (23), Mexico (26), Russia (22), South Sudan (8), Switzerland (81), the United States (65) and Venezuela (10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
