Corruption perception index 2009: Most corrupt country
Corruption is hardly a victimless crime. A quick search on the internet for the corrupt countries rankings returns thousands of results. Some tell you that Haiti is the most corrupt country in the world, while others label Somalia, Kyrgyzstan... . Transparency International's 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is the world's most credible measure of of domestic, public sector corruption will also show up. 180 countries ranked according to their perceived level of public sector corruption.
Most corrupt countries in the world: Somalia and Myanmar tied in the top spot, followed by Iraq and Sudan.
The least corrupt countries in the world are Denmark, Finland and New Zealand.
Why Somalia is a most corrupt country as mentioned:
Somalia is country located in the horn of Africa. Fragile, unstable and war ravaged states linger at the bottom of the Transparency Index. Somalia, with a score of 1.1 is the most corrupt nation in the world. Somalia perceived to have the highest levels of public-sector corruption is plagued by long-standing conflicts, which have torn apart their governance infrastructure.
Somalia has the ignominious honour of the worst ever overall Global Integrity country's score due to largely the country's lack of a functioning government during a period when competing warlords, Islamist militias and a United Nations-backed transitional government competed for territorial control. The police continue to be a central factor in corruption in Somalia. Since the police are also the officials closest to every individual on a daily basis, it is their corruption that changes the nature of daily life in Somalia, permeating all society and the way business is done.
This may be due to the fact that there is no government in Somalia. Various regional authorities operate on the level of mega-gangs.
Somaliland in the North has declared independence but is unrecognised.
Despite this, many foreign companies thrive in Somalia. It's private wireless networks provide better service than in neighbouring countries. Internet usage increased by 44,900% between 2000, when it first became available, and 2007. It has the cheapest cellular calling rates, some companies charging less than a cent a minute.
