According to the CPI score, Pakistan scored 27 out of 100 in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) for 2022. Transparency International publishes the CPI, an annual assessment that gauges perceptions of public sector corruption in various nations. A lower CPI score suggests a perception of greater corruption.
Pakistan is near the bottom of the index with a ranking of 140 out of 180 nations. This means that the public sector of the nation is thought to be relatively corrupt. As corruption can be difficult to assess directly, it is crucial to highlight that the CPI represents perceptions of corruption rather than actual levels.
There are a number of factors that may lead to the assumption that Pakistan is underrepresented in the CPI. Bribery, nepotism, poor governance, a lack of transparency, and inefficiency in public institutions are a few examples of these. High levels of corruption have the potential to stymie economic growth, destroy public confidence, and impede the efficient operation of the government and public services.
According to assessments of experts and businesspeople, the top ten countries that achieve the highest rankings in the CPI tend to display lesser levels of corruption. Strong anti-corruption policies, a strong legal system, transparent and accountable institutions, competent law enforcement, and a culture of honesty in public administration are all factors that may explain their improved rankings.
It is important to note that the particular factors influencing each country's high ranking may differ, and additional examination of the CPI's country reports can offer more in-depth information about those countries' anti-corruption initiatives and triumphs.
