Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel —  Transparency International has released its 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), providing an assessment of perceived public sector corruption across 180 countries and territories. Denmark ranks as the least corrupt nation, while South Sudan leads the most corrupt countries in the world.

Corruption remains a serious issue for every country, including Indonesia, as it poses a significant obstacle to national progress and development. Transparency International ranks 180 countries and territories based on perceived levels of public sector corruption, using a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

The report highlighted that corruption remains a persistent global challenge. While 32 countries have made measurable progress in curbing corruption since 2012, an alarming 148 nations have either stagnated or seen worsening corruption levels.

The global average score remains stuck at 43, with more than two-thirds of countries scoring below 50. This means that nearly 6.8 billion people or about 85% of the world’s population live in countries where corruption significantly undermines human rights and quality of life.

For the seventh consecutive year, Denmark ranks as the least corrupt nation, scoring 90 on the CPI. It is followed by Finland (88), Singapore (84), New Zealand (83), and Luxembourg (81), rounding out the top five.

On the opposite end, South Sudan ranks as the most corrupt country, with a score of just 8. Somalia, Venezuela, and Syria also continue to struggle with high levels of corruption.

“Corruption is a growing global threat that not only hampers development but also weakens democracy, fuels instability, and leads to human rights violations,” said François Valérian, Chair of Transparency International, as reported by CNBC Indonesia on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.

Where Does Indonesia Stand?

Indonesia ranked 37 on the 2024 CPI, reflecting ongoing challenges in tackling corruption. However, this marks an improvement from the previous year’s ranking of 34.

Despite this progress, Indonesia still lags behind its regional neighbors. Singapore, for example, remains among the world’s least corrupt nations with a score of 84, while Malaysia ranks 50 and Vietnam 40.

As the fight against corruption continues, experts emphasize the need for stronger governance, transparency, and enforcement measures to further improve Indonesia’s ranking in the years ahead.
