Transparency International Corruption Perception Index

Data from the TI Corruption Perception Index shows that:

In 2023, Slovakia ranked 54 among 180 countries, with a score of 57 out of 100 – the lower the score, the higher the level of perceived corruption. The average global score of the TI Corruption Perception Index is indicated to be 43/100. The average regional score for Western Europe and European Union in 2022 reached 65/100.

While in the global level Slovakia scored 11 points above the average, it scored lower by 8 points for the Western Europe and the European Union region group average. The lowest performers in the region were Romania (46), Hungary (42) and Bulgaria (42), which means that Slovakia scored 12 points higher than the lowest ranking country.

The TI Corruption Perception Index is an annual measurement tool, therefore, the country’s scores and ranking can be compared with last year’s results. In 2022, Slovakia scored 53/100 and ranked 49/180. The average score for 2022 was the same, 43/100, meaning that Slovakia scored 10 points higher. The average regional score for Western Europe and the European Union was 66/100. The lowest performers in the region were also Romania (46), Hungary (43) and Bulgaria (42), which means that Slovakia scored 11 points higher than lowest ranking country.

TI CPI provides comparable data throughout the years. However, the quantitative data including the score and ranks of each of 180 countries is only complemented with a brief description in a form of an annual report. The annual report, however, does not include a detailed overview for each region or country, focusing rather on giving an overall picture of the state of perceived corruption across the globe.
