Among European Union (EU) countries, Lithuania ranks 12th.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Denmark (90 points) once again holds first place, alongside Finland (88 points), Singapore (84 points), and New Zealand (83 points), which also remain at the top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estonia scored 76 points this year, ranking 13th (last year \u2013 76 points and 12th place), Latvia scored 59 points and ranks 38th (last year \u2013 60 points and 36th place). Poland scored 53 points, placing 53th (last year \u2013 54 points and 47th place), Belarus received 33 points, ranking 114th (last year \u2013 37 points and 98st place), while Russia scored 22 points, ranking 154st (last year \u2013 26 points and 141th place).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average score of the European Union is 62 points out of 100.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThese results send a clear message\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 we have established ourselves amongst the top fifth of the world\u2019s most transparent countries and continue to hold this position. However, expecting a higher score without significant changes would be unrealistic. I hope that the current CPI score will encourage the new Government to take the lead and prioritise corruption prevention, by fostering the environment that supports best practices. A good starting point would be setting clear, measurable success indicators based on primary data, shifting away from anti-corruption progress \u201con paper\u201d towards real, tangible change. \u201d \u2013 said Ingrida Kalinauskien\u0117, CEO of Transparency International Lithuania.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Corruption Perceptions Index is one of the world\u2019s most famous anti-corruption indicators, which ranks countries and territories based on how effectively they are able to manage corruption. The score of a country or territory reflects the perceived level of corruption on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates that a country is perceived as highly corrupt, whereas 100 means that it is perceived as very clean. The level of corruption in the public and government sectors is evaluated by various experts and business leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TI Lithuania reminds that Lithuania aims to achieve a CPI score of 74 by 2033, as outlined in the National Corruption Prevention Agenda (2022-2033).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We note that Lithuania\u2019s 2024 CPI score was based on nine sources \u2013 one less than last year. The following sources were used in determining Lithuania\u2019s CPI 2024: 1. Bertelsmann Foundation Sustainable Governance Indicators; 2. Bertelsmann Foundation Transformation Index; 3. Economist Intelligence Unit Country Risk Service; 4. Freedom House Nations in Transit; 5. Global Insights Business Conditions and Risk Indicators; 6. IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook; 7.
