World Corruption Perception Index Charts

The following charts from Transparency International

Of the 183 countries surveyed, two thirds have been seen as “corrupt”.

Meanwhile the Philippines has been ranked 129^th with a score of 2.6, an ‘improvement’ from last year’s score of 2.4 and from the 134^th spot. Although I have yet to ascertain on the aspects where the Philippines have made ‘improvements’ on.

One more observation: Given that Somalia’s transitional government has just been a little over 1 year old, it would signify an oddity to include her in the index.

At the end of the day, Transparency International corruption perception index represents merely ‘perception’ or estimates from surveys, which could likely be off from the reality.
