Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI): The CPI ranks
countries/territories based on how corrupt a country’s public
sector is perceived to be. It is a composite index, a
combination of polls, drawing on corruption-related data from
expert and business surveys carried out by a variety of
independent and reputable institutions. The CPI reflects views
from around the world, including those of experts living and
working in the countries/territories evaluated. For a
country/territory to be included in the ranking, it must be
included in a minimum of three of the CPI’s source surveys.
Thus, inclusion in the index is not an indication of the
existence of corruption but rather dependent solely on the
availability of information. The most recent Corruption
Perception Index can be found at: Global Corruption Barometer
(GCB): a representative survey of more than 70,000 households in
more than 65 countries on people’s perceptions and experiences
of corruption. The most recent Global Corruption Barometer can
