Berlin, 10 February 2026 – Corruption is worsening globally, with even established democracies experiencing rising corruption amid a decline in leadership, according to Transparency International’s 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), published today. This annual index shows that the number of countries scoring above 80 has shrunk from 12 a decade ago to just five this year.

Our data show that democracies, typically stronger on anticorruption than autocracies or flawed democracies, are experiencing a worrying decline in performance. This trend spans countries such as the United States (64), Canada (75) and New Zealand (81), to various parts of Europe, like the United Kingdom (70), France (66) and Sweden (80). Another concerning pattern is increasing restrictions by many states on freedoms of expression, association and assembly. Since 2012, 36 of the 50 countries with significant declines in CPI scores have also experienced a reduction in civic space.

2025 saw a wave of anticorruption protests led by Gen Z, mostly in countries in the bottom half of the CPI whose scores have largely stagnated or declined over the past decade. Young people in countries such as Nepal (34) and Madagascar (25) took to the streets to criticise leaders for abusing their power while failing to deliver decent public services and economic opportunity.

Transparency International is warning that the absence of bold leadership in the global fight against corruption is weakening international anticorruption action, and risks reducing pressure for reform in countries throughout the world.
Transparency International is calling for:

Renewed political leadership on anticorruption, including the full enforcement of laws, implementation of international commitments, and reforms that strengthen transparency, oversight and accountability.
Protection of civic space, by ending attacks on journalists, NGOs, and whistleblowers, and stopping efforts to restrict independent civil society work.
Close the secrecy loopholes that let corrupt money move across borders, including by reining in professional gatekeepers and ensuring transparency on who really owns companies, trusts and assets.

Decline in leadership against corruption

In many European countries, anti-corruption efforts have largely stalled over the past decade. Since 2012, 13 countries in western Europe and the EU have significantly declined, and only seven have significantly improved. In December 2025, the EU agreed its first Anti-Corruption Directive to harmonise criminal laws on corruption. What could have been a zero-tolerance framework was watered down by some member states, including Italy (53), which blocked the criminalisation of public officials’ abuse of office. The result: a framework that lacks ambition, clarity and enforceability.

Garbage!

They don't have access to the country, neither are they privy of its finances.

As to you, Mesob, shut the fuçk up and stop your idiotic ሃበስ ቀበስ። ድርባይ ሓርኢ እኽሊ! Just remember, you're dealing with no other than the mighty Eritreans. Believe it, knucklehead!

Eritrea is dead last on the world Corruption Perception Index.
If Ethiopians think that they live under of the worst regimes, which I agree, then think about the life of Eritreans under Issaias Afeworki.
In Eritrea, to get anything done, you need to hand in money or sell yourself to your commander in the army, give a sack of rice or sorghum, sell your daughter to serve as a sex slave ... provide free labour to build the house of your army commander, cook food and serve as domestic worker for your commander's concubine, or serve as a concubine yourself, provide free labour in the crop field of your commander ...
One of my nephews spent an entire summer in Semienawi Bahri district tending the goats of his commander Colonel Wedi Hakim.
In Eritrea, you have to pay lots of money to the army commander or government official to cross to Tigray, to get a passport, to smuggle contraband goods in the airport, to get an identity card, to get a ration coupon, to transfer your daughter serving as teacher for her forced military service to another town, to get a pass paper - Yilef - to travel from one Wereda to the next Wereda administration, to get your house painted, to renovate your toilet, to get a Butane gas canister, to bring a sack of charcoal to your sister in town, to see your wife giving birth, to attend the funeral of your mother, to transfer to a better dungeon within the prison, to get a hair cut or a shower in the prison, to be released from the prison ... the list never ends

Mesob,

Meskin Agame, Eritrea and corruption can never go togther. Now, if the index was for the most uncorrupt nation in the world!

Corruption exists where there is money

Meskin Agame,

You are suffering multiple inferiority complexes. No cure for it.

With in a month or two, the Eritrea of 2.5 million people that had forced out its young population and depleted itself is going to face off the 130 million Ethiopia. If the shaebia army is capable of fighting for more than 4 weeks before an immediate surrender and running away to eastern Sudan, it will be seen as a major historic accomplishment.
This is to say Abiy Ahmed's air-force and drone operators only need to locate and decimate Shaebia's only formidable and worthy artillery gunners of Kifle serawit 525 with in two weeks, after that, the war will be over in four weeks.
This war will once again humiliate Issaias Afeworki and the Arab abid Concubine slaves and the wandering opportunist Islamist Jihadis who are waiting on the sidelines to march to Asmara without lifting a stick.

The main question remains for how many days will my destitute conscript Eritrean brothers and sisters will fight, forced from the back like cattle, on their empty stomach? The fear about this devastating war is very palpable among many Eritreans.
This war will once again humiliate Issaias Afeworki and the Arab abid Concubine slaves and the wandering opportunist Islamist Jihadis who are waiting on the sidelines to march to Asmara without lifting a stick.
