Transparency International (TI) has ranked Bangladesh 13th among 182 countries in its 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), identifying it as one of the most corrupt nations. The country scored 24 out of 100, sharing the same score with the Central African Republic and Paraguay. Despite a one-point improvement from last year, Bangladesh fell one position from its 2024 ranking of 14th. The findings were announced at a press conference held at the Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) office in Dhanmondi on Tuesday.
TIB Executive Director Dr. Iftekharuzzaman stated that Denmark topped the list of least corrupt countries with a score of 89, while South Sudan and Somalia were the most corrupt, each scoring 9. He explained that Bangladesh’s slight score improvement may reflect short-term optimism following the July political transition, which raised expectations for democratic and accountable governance. However, the absence of progress in state reform limited any significant improvement in the country’s overall position.
TI noted that no country achieved a perfect score this year, and 80 percent of the world’s population lives in highly corrupt countries, indicating a global rise in corruption.
