THE TOP EIGHT LEAST CORRUPT COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD

NETHERLANDS

A culture of trust, an independent judiciary, and effective anti-

corruption mechanisms all work together to create a culture

where corruption is not much of a problem.

SINGAPORE

Situated in a part of the world where corruption is often taken for

granted, Singapore’s harsh measures have pushed it far ahead of its

neighbours when it comes to tackling corruption.

SWITZERLAND

Although political parties are perceived by the public to be the most

corrupt entity in the country, there is almost no hindrance to 

obtaining public services and most sectors are considered corruption free.

NORWAY

Administrative corruption and petty bribery are virtually unheard of.

Companies and individuals can even be prosecuted for

corruption offenses committed abroad.

SWEDEN

The legal and institutional framework in Sweden is considered

very effective in fighting corruption and government agencies are

characterized by a high degree of transparency.

FINLAND

With a virtually non-existent level of administrative corruption,

citizens and business are unlikely to face corruption when

dealing with public officials.

NEW ZEALAND

This Pacific nation is fairly consistently ranked just behind Denmark.

DENMARK

With an active push for more transparency in politics along with

increased corporate responsibility, Denmark is ranked

as the least corrupt nation on Earth.
