Kosovo has made a significant improvement in the Corruption Perceptions Index ranking published by Transparency International.
According to the report, our country has achieved a total of 44 points, or a difference of 3 places higher, compared to last year.
This is why Kosovo ranks 73rd out of 180 countries.
Albania has improved significantly in the Corruption Perceptions Index ranking, published by Transparency International. Albania has increased by 5 points for 2024, compared to 2023, while in total it counts 42 points, out of 100 which are the maximum points.
In Albania, improvements in the justice system are appreciated, as the report writes that the prosecution and the specialized anti-corruption courts (SPAK) have gained the trust of citizens after convicting former ministers, members of Parliament and mayors. “SPAK continues to investigate a former president, former prime minister and other high-level public officials,” the report says.
The Corruption Perceptions Index measures the perception of public sector corruption, according to experts and businesspeople. Each country's score is a combination of at least 3 data sources drawn from 13 different surveys and assessments.
The report notes that Montenegro's (46) half-hearted approach to reforms has left the capture of the judiciary unresolved, which risks undermining the progress made by the Special State Prosecution Office and continuing impunity for senior officials.
North Macedonia has a score of 40 this year, a change of -2 from last year, meaning it ranks 88th out of 180 countries.
Assessing 180 countries around the world, the Corruption Perceptions Index is the leading global indicator of public sector corruption.
