"India's Declining Ranking in Global Corruption Index Raises Concerns"

India has slipped 8 spots to rank 93 along with Lesotho, Maldives, and Kazakhstan on the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2023, with a score of 39. The CPI ranks countries based on their perceived levels of public sector corruption, and India's score has only dipped by one point from the previous year. Transparency International notes that most countries have made little to no progress in tackling public sector corruption, with the global average score remaining unchanged at 43. In the Asia-Pacific region, New Zealand, Singapore, and Australia secured top scores, while Pakistan ranked 133 and China ranked 76.

"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.

"2023 Corruption Perceptions Index: Global Insights and Rankings Revealed"

The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2023 reveals a global decline in justice and the rule of law since 2016, with only 28 out of 180 countries showing improved corruption levels over the last twelve years. Countries with strong rule of law and democratic institutions tend to rank higher, while those experiencing conflict or with restricted freedoms tend to score worst. The report emphasizes the need to strengthen the independence of the justice system, promote transparency, introduce integrity and monitoring mechanisms, improve access to justice, and expand avenues for accountability in grand corruption cases to combat corruption and promote justice.
