"Several governments no longer see the fight against corruption as a priority,"
"Governments may have had the impression that ... they had done everything to address corruption and had to turn to other priorities."
Transparency International's 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index shows a weakening of anti-corruption leadership in the West, with longstanding strong performers such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Sweden recording declines. The number of countries scoring above 80 has fallen from 12 a decade ago to only five in 2025. Denmark tops the index with 89, followed by Finland (88) and Singapore (84). The report highlights that several governments no longer prioritize fighting corruption, notes a decade-long deterioration in the US political climate, and records the US at its lowest-ever score of 64, down 10 points since 2016.
