Georgia ranks amongst Europe’s top 20 in Corruption Absence Index
The European Commission, within the framework of the World Justice Project’s Rule of Law Index, has published new findings on the absence of corruption. Georgia scored 67% on a 100-point scale, ranking 35th globally and securing a place among the top 20 countries in Europe.
With this result, Georgia outperforms all EU candidate countries as well as 14 EU and NATO member states, including Italy, Croatia, Greece, Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Malta, Cyprus, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Turkey, and Albania.
In Europe, the countries with the lowest levels of corruption are Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
The study also identified Europe’s most corrupt states. Ukraine ranked first, followed by Albania, with Moldova listed as the third most corrupt. Russia occupies fifth place on this list, behind Serbia.
According to the European Commission, the indicator measures the absence of corruption in government and examines three forms: bribery, improper influence of public and private interests, and misappropriation of public funds and resources. These factors are assessed across the executive branch, judiciary, military, police, and legislature.
The research was conducted by the World Justice Project, a US-based organiსation headquartered in Washington, D.C.
