"Corruption Perceptions Index 2023: Denmark Tops, UK Falls, Global Efforts Falter"

Singapore maintains its position as the fifth least corrupt country in the world, according to the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, making it the only Asian country in the top 10. The country scored 83 in 2023, the same as the year before, and the Corruption Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) stated that the corruption situation in Singapore "remains firmly under control," with consistently low public sector corruption cases. Singapore also ranked third for absence of corruption in the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2023 and performed well in the 2023 Report on Corruption in Asia by the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC).

"Corruption Index Reveals Declining Rule of Law Globally"

Transparency International's 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index reveals a global decline in justice and the rule of law, with 23 countries reaching their lowest-ever ranking. Weakening justice systems are cited as a key factor in allowing corruption to thrive, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable in society. The report highlights concerns about the decline of accountability and political corruption in various regions, including Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Caribbean, Arab countries, and sub-Saharan Africa. While some countries have shown improvement, the overall global average remains unchanged, emphasizing the need for leaders to invest in and guarantee the independence of institutions that uphold the law and tackle corruption.
