Corruption among officials is most prevalent in Somalia and North Korea while the country where the authorities are seen as least likely to take a bribe is Denmark, according to an authoritative new study.
Out of a possible score of 100, where a higher number indicated less bribery, Britain scored 78. The best rated country was Denmark with a score of 92, followed by New Zealand on 91 and Finland on 89.
Of other notable nations, Germany was ranked joint 12th with a score of 79, Japan was joint 15th with 76, Ireland and the US were joint 17th with a rating of 74, and France was joint 26th with 69.
The country to suffer the biggest drop since last year’s survey was Turkey, whose score fell 5 points to 45, putting it in 64th place. China’s score fell by 4 points to 36, putting it in 100th place. Transparency International said noted that China’s lower score came despite a well-publicized crackdown on bribery there.
