The 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) shows that most countries are failing to stop corruption. The global average remains unchanged for over a decade at just 43 out of 100, whereas Sri Lanka’s score fell from 37 to 36 in 2022.

More than two-thirds of countries score below 50, while 26 countries have fallen to their lowest scores yet. Despite concerted efforts and hard-won gains by some, 155 countries have made no significant progress against corruption or have declined since 2012.
