Transparency International revealed this on Tuesday in its corruption perceptions index for 2024, disclosing that South Sudan, Somalia and Venezuela were the most corrupt countries in the world.

According to the list, Denmark was the least corrupt country in the world with 90 points, Finland, second with 88 points, and Singapore was third with 84 points.

No African nation appeared in the top 10 cleanest countries, which were all European countries, although Cape Verde ranked as the least corrupt African country at 35th place with 62 points.

Citing the basis of the selection and result, the chair of Transparency International, Francois Valeria, said, “The 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) shows that corruption is a dangerous problem in every part of the world, but change for the better is happening in many countries.

“Research also reveals that corruption is a major threat to climate action. It hinders progress in reducing emissions and adapting to the unavoidable effects of global heating.

“The CPI ranks 180 countries and territories worldwide by their perceived levels of public sector corruption. The results are given on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).”

Valeria stated that while 32 countries have significantly reduced their corruption levels since 2012, there’s still a huge amount of work to be done as 148 countries have remained stagnant or gotten worse during the same period.

“The global average of 43 has also stood still for years, while over two-thirds of countries score below 50. Billions of people live in countries where corruption destroys lives and undermines human rights.”
