Perceived corruption decreasing in Poland

A global study of the perception of corruption has shown an improvement in Poland. Poland advanced from spot number 38 to 35 in the ranking out of a total of 175 nations. Poland's score is 61. Overall, the Corruption Perceptions Index paints an alarming picture: two-thirds of countries score less than 50 points on a scale of 0 to 100. Not one country scored a perfect "clean" score. Denmark is the best ranked country with a score of 92. "Countries at the bottom need to adopt radical anti-corruption measures in favour of their people. Countries at the top of the index should make sure they don’t export corrupt practices to underdeveloped countries," said José Ugaz, Chair, Transparency International.
