According to Transparency International (TI), South Sudan and Somalia are the most corrupt countries in 2025.

This is evident from the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) of these two countries, which is the lowest on a global scale.

The CPI is an index that measures the level of corruption in a country based on the perceptions of experts and business people regarding the misuse of public office, bribery practices, the integrity of officials, and law enforcement.

These perceptions are then processed into a score on a scale of 0-100 points. The higher the score, the more a country is considered free from corruption. Conversely, the lower the score, the more a country is considered corrupt.

In 2025, South Sudan and Somalia both achieved a CPI score of 9 points, the lowest among the 182 countries surveyed.

The CPI scores of these two countries are also far below the global average, which is 42 points.

Other countries with low CPI scores on a global scale include Venezuela, Yemen, Libya, Eritrea, Sudan, and Nicaragua.

Next are Syria, North Korea, Equatorial Guinea, Myanmar, Haiti, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and Burundi, with detailed scores as shown in the chart.

TI also found that corruption practices are generally more prevalent in countries with low freedom of expression.

"Those where the freedoms of expression, assembly and association are duly safeguarded are generally more resilient against corruption and score better on the CPI," TI said in the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index report.

"However, countries where these freedoms are lacking are more likely to lose control of corruption," they said.
