Slovak PM Fico: Fight Foreign Influence – But Only From the West
20 February 2025
Central and Eastern Europe stagnated in its battle against corruption, with the worst offenders – led by Poland and Hungary – overshadowing the steady improvements made by several other EU member states. Corruption perception levels have decreased in many EU candidate countries but are still prominent enough to block their path to EU membership.
Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is the most widely used global corruption ranking in the world. It scores 180 countries on their perceived levels of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).
Central and Eastern European Corruption Perception
According to the 2023 CPI, released on 30 January 2024, over two-thirds of countries globally score below 50 out of 100, which strongly indicates that they have serious corruption problems. Based on the data below, the average score for Central and Eastern Europe is 48.82.
