About Transparency International

Transparency International (TI) is an international non-governmental organization set up to tackle the issue of corruption around the world. It is present in more than 100 countries and works with partners in government, business and civil society to put effective measures in place to tackle corruption. TI publishes an annual Corruption Perceptions Index and Global Corruption Barometer, a comparative listing of corruption worldwide.

About the Corruption Perceptions Index

First launched in 1995, the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) by TI has been widely credited with putting the issue of corruption on the international policy agenda. Using expert assessments and opinion surveys, the CPI measures and ranks countries and territories based on the perceived levels of public sector corruption. The CPI currently ranks 180 countries on a scale from 100 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt).

Singapore’s Ranking

Since its inception, Singapore has been ranked consistently among one of the least corrupt countries in the world.
