What Asia’s citizens think about corruption

Each year, Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index scores countries on how corrupt their public sectors are seen to be.  The results are met with mixed interests. Some take issues with attempting to measure an intangible perception, but the outcomes are a telling reminder to the world that corruption is a deep seated problem that needs to tackled head on, thus sparking a world-wide dialogue about the grave consequences of corruption.

As part of a regional series of the Global Corruption Barometer, this report comes at a key moment when many governments in the region are consolidating their agenda to meet the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are set out as development priorities to be mobilised until 2030 and these goals include corruption and bribery reduction as an important measure to be improved upon.
