CPI 2009 Released
The 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index which ranks 180 countries according to how their public sector is viewed on international expert and business surveys. As the world economy begins to register a tentative recovery and some nations continue to wrestle with ongoing conflict and insecurity, it is clear that no region of the world is immune to the perils of corruption, according to Transparency International’s 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), a measure of domestic, public sector corruption released today. In a media release by TI Australia the Chief Executive of Transparency International Australia, Michael Ahrens, comments on the fact that Australia has risen to eighth spot from ninth in 2008 in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), halting a slide since 2002 when it was considered the least corrupt country in the world.
