Transparency International has released its 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index on Jan. 31 and the results were sobering. It showed little improvement for democratic institutions in 95 percent of the 180 countries and territories observed since 2017.

The index both scores and ranks perceived levels of corruption in the public sector on a zero to 100 scale, with zero considered the most corrupt on the score chart.
