Transparency’s Hungary Corruption Index Unchanged
- 4 Dec 2014 8:00 AM
Hungary stayed in 47th place on a list of 175 countries in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index 2014. The Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries and territories based on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be.
A country or territory’s score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). Hungary’s 2014 score is 54, unchanged from last year.
On top of the 2014 list is Denmark with a score of 92 and at the end is Somalia with a score of 8. In a European context, Hungary stood in 21st place while among fellow EU countries from central and eastern Europe and the Baltics that joined the bloc in 2004 it was in midfield.
Hungary was ranked cleaner that Estonia, Poland, Lithuania, Slovenia and Latvia but in a worse position than Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania.
