A recent report by Transparency International has revealed that many countries experienced their worst showing in over a decade in terms of public sector corruption. The Corruption Perceptions Index, which assesses corruption levels worldwide, highlighted concerning trends across leading powers like the United States and France, as well as authoritarian regimes such as Russia and Venezuela.
Out of the 180 countries surveyed, 47 recorded their lowest scores since the current methodology was adopted in 2012. The report emphasized that global corruption levels continue to be alarmingly high, with efforts to combat corruption showing signs of faltering.
