THE CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX IS:
A global (168 countries/territories) aggregate Index (up to 12 different data sources) capturing perceptions (experts/business people) of corruption (abuse of power for private gain) in the public sector (public officials and institutions)
CPI 2015
THE METHOD STEP 1 – Select data sources
STEP 2 – Rescale data sources STEP 3 – Calculate the average STEP 4 – Report uncertainty
INTERPRETING THE RESULTS Score: On a scale of 0 – 100, where 0 means highly corrupt and 100 means very clean. Allows for comparison with scores from previous years (2014, 2013, 2012): The CPI scores from 2015 can be compared with the CPI scores from the previous 3 years and changes in scores can be interpreted appropriately.
Rank: Out of the 168 countries globally, a change in rank could be due to: a) Change in CPI score for the country between 2014 and 2015
b) Change in scores of other countries included in the CPI
