Although the country’s score improved from 42 in 2024 to 43 in 2025, Transparency International notes that this change is not statistically significant under the CPI methodology. Transparency International emphasised the need for both domestic and international cooperation in tackling corruption. "In an interconnected world, we need both national action and multilateral cooperation to protect the public interest and tackle shared challenges like corruption. Explaining what drives CPI outcomes, Transparency International’s research underscores that corruption is not inevitable. “Unsurprisingly, Transparency International observes, countries with full democracies tend to score highly on the CPI, while non-democratic regimes perform the worst,” the statement said.
