when it comes to corruption, according to Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index for 2018. The index ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption according to experts and business people. We rank below Luxembourg, Estonia and France.
Zoe Reiter, Acting Representative to the U.S. at Transparency International said this about the report:
“A four point drop in the CPI score is a red flag and comes at a time when the US is experiencing threats to its system of checks and balances, as well as an erosion of ethical norms at the highest levels of power. If this trend continues, it would indicate a serious corruption problem in a country that has taken a lead on the issue globally. This is a bipartisan issue that requires a bipartisan solution.”
