Indonesia's Corruption Perception Index (CPI) in 2019 scored 40 points, a two-point increase from the previous year's 38 points. Despite this increase, Transparency International noted that the independence and effectiveness of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) were weakened by the Indonesian government.
This contradicts President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) agenda of encouraging foreign investment and economic growth. Corruption concerns deter investors and can slow economic progress.
The 2019 CPI survey involved 180 countries. A score of 0 indicates a highly corrupt country, while a score of 100 indicates a country free from corruption.
