Afghanistan has been placed among the biggest improvers in 2014 corruption perceptions index by edging up 4 points this year.
Afghanistan shared the title of most corrupt nation in 2013 corruption perceptions index which was released by the Berlin-based corruption-fighting organization – Transparency International (TI).
However, in this year’s index, Afghanistan was placed among the biggest improvers which includes Côte d´Ivoire, Egypt, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Jordan, Mali and Swaziland.
The rating is based on a scale from 0 (perceived to be highly corrupt) to 100 (perceived to be very clean) where a poll was conducted on experts across 175 countries and territories, using a dozen different surveys to rate perception of corruption.
According to the report, North Korea and Somalia were tied as most corrupt, unchanged from last year, scoring just eight.
New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland were among the cleanest countries. But the first place was taken by Denmark which scored 92.
