Bangladesh 14th most corrupt country in the world

Bangladesh has ranked as the 14th most corrupt country in the world as per the Global Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2024 of the Transparency International (TI).

Bangladesh ranked 10th in 2023.

However, the improvement in ranking does not indicate a reduction in corruption. In fact, the country’s corruption score has worsened. Bangladesh scored 23 out of 100 in 2024, compared to 24 in 2023, reflecting an increase in corruption.

Still, it moved four places up in the ranking as other countries performed even worse in corruption.

Denmark remains the least corrupt country in the world, while South Sudan holds the highest corruption level.
Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) released the CPI 2024 report at the Midas Center in Dhaka on Tuesday morning. 

TIB executive director Iftekharuzzaman presented the findings, based on data collected between November 2021 and September 2024.
