Georgia shows one point decrease in Corruption Perceptions Index

Georgia has a score of 55 points, which is a one point decrease compared to the previous year, in the Transparency International’s 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI).  

 

The country maintains the 45th place among 180 countries included in the ranking and a leading position in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region. 

 

Transparency International Georgia says that the country’s score has not improved significantly since 2012. 

 

It says that the problems and challenges that exist  and create an ‘ ideal environment’ for corruption to deepen are as follows:  

 

Informal governance

 

Unhealthy concentration of power in the hands of the ruling party.

 

Weakening of the democratic system of checks and balances

 

Weak parliamentary oversight.

 

High level corruption

 

Stalled anti-corruption reform
