Quick Summary

The Global Corruption Barometer is an annual report published by Transparency International, a non-governmental organization founded in 1993 to combat corruption worldwide. This report surveys individuals to gauge their experiences and perceptions of corruption in various sectors, such as public services and political institutions.

Unlike the Corruption Perceptions Index, which relies on expert assessments, the Barometer provides insights into how corruption directly affects ordinary citizens. Transparency International uses these findings to advocate for stronger anti-corruption measures and policies aimed at reducing the harmful effects of corruption, particularly on vulnerable populations. The organization believes corruption hinders development, weakens democracy, and distorts trade.
