To start, the Nordic countries are a safe bet
for business, with Denmark, Finland, Sweden
and Norway all among the least corrupt nations.
Rounding out the top five are New Zealand, tied for
first with Denmark with a score of 91, and Singapore,
tied with Norway for No. 5.
Here are the 10 least corrupt countries in the world,
according to the index:
1. Denmark
2. New Zealand (tied with Denmark for No. 1)
3. Finland
4. Sweden (tied with Finland for No. 3)
5. Norway
6. Singapore (tied with Norway for No. 5)
7. Switzerland
8. Netherlands
9. Australia
10. Canada (tied with Australia for No. 9)
What of the United States? The world’s
largest economy sits at No. 19 with a score of 73,
while its fellow Anglophones to the north and south,
Canada and Australia, are tied for 9th place with
scores of 81. (Both have dropped since last year. In
2012, Canada scored an 84 and Australia an 85.) The
United Kingdom is ranked No. 14.
Mexico, another U.S. neighbor, is listed as far more
corrupt than Canada, with a score of 34 ranking it at
106 of 177. (This reporter’s own experience suggests
the country’s low score is well-deserved.)
At the positively wretched end of the scale it’s no
surprise to see Yemen, Sudan, Syria and other Middle
Eastern and African countries. But some of their
scores look almost handsome beside the worst of the
lot: Tied for last place are Afghanistan, North
Korea and Somalia, all having scored a measly 8 on
the index.
Here are the world’s 10 most corrupt nations,
starting with the worst:
1. Somalia
2. North Korea (tied with Somalia and Afghanistan for
No. 175)
3. Afghanistan (tied with North Korea and Somalia for
No. 175)
4. Sudan
5. South Sudan
6. Libya
7. Iraq
8. Uzbekistan
9. Turkmenistan (tied with Uzbekistan and Syria for No.
168)
