Pakistan’s ranking in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2025 improved by one point, moving from 135 out of 180 countries in 2024 to 136 out of 182 countries in 2025.
According to Transparency International’s report published on Tuesday, Pakistan’s CPI score increased by one point, from 27 in 2024 to 28 in 2025.
Chair of Transparency International Pakistan, Justice Zia Perwez said Pakistan is making commendable efforts in governance and institutional reforms on the recommendations of the IMF Governance and Corruption Diagnostic Assessment. He hoped that due to these reforms, Pakistan’s upward momentum in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) in the coming years will improve.
The 2025 index shows that the number of countries scoring above 80 has shrunk from 12 a decade ago to just five this year.
The score has changed since 2012: 31 countries improved, 50 countries declined, while 100 countries stayed the same.
This year’s CPI ranks 182 countries and territories according to the levels of public-sector corruption perceived by experts and business people.
