Several countries showed signs of extremely high levels of corruption in 2024. This is evident from their low scores on the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) compiled by Transparency International (TI).

South Sudan ranked first with a score of 8 points, a significant decrease from 13 points the previous year.

Somalia followed in second place with a score of 9 points, and Venezuela came in third with 10 points.

Other countries included Syria, Yemen, Libya, Nicaragua, and Sudan.

All ten countries on this list experienced a decline in their index ranking. Furthermore, all are developing countries, with many being conflict zones.

TI's survey involved 180 countries. A score of 0 indicates widespread corruption, while a score of 100 signifies a country free from corruption.

The average global CPI score in 2024 was only 43 points. Many countries showed no significant change over the past decade.

While 32 countries significantly reduced their corruption levels since 2012, TI notes that much work remains to be done. A total of 148 countries remained stagnant or worsened during the same period. Moreover, over two-thirds of countries scored below 50.

"Billions of people live in countries where corruption devastates lives and undermines human rights," wrote TI Chair François Valérian on the TI website, as quoted on Monday, February 17, 2025.

The following are the 10 countries with the lowest corruption index scores in 2024:

* South Sudan: 8 points
* Somalia: 9 points
* Venezuela: 10 points
* Syria: 12 points
* Yemen: 13 points
* Libya: 13 points
* Eritrea: 13 points
* Equatorial Guinea: 13 points
* Nicaragua: 14 points
* Sudan: 15 points.
