ISLAMABAD, Feb 10 (APP): Transparency International on Tuesday released the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2025, showing a modest improvement for Pakistan as its overall score rose by one point to 28 compared to 2024, reflecting a continued upward trend in recent years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to the report, Pakistan is ranked 136th out of 182 countries surveyed in 2025. Transparency International expanded the scope of the index this year, adding two more countries to the survey compared to 180 countries assessed in 2024.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pakistan\u2019s performance has steadily improved over the past four years, attributing the progress to better governance practices and sustained institutional reforms. Since 2021, the country\u2019s perceived level of corruption has declined significantly, with Pakistan improving its overall standing by four positions during this period.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The CPI 2025 report highlighted notable gains across multiple sectors, including the public administration, legislative institutions and the judiciary. Key indicators such as administrative and judicial corruption recorded improvements of up to five points, suggesting enhanced oversight and accountability mechanisms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Transparency International said Pakistan has taken \u201cconcrete and coordinated steps\u201d to combat corruption over the last four years, resulting in measurable progress across several governance indicators.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Earlier, Transparency International Pakistan released its annual national assessment in December, reporting that two out of three citizens had not experienced corruption or irregularities in government institutions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Supporting these findings, a survey published last week by IPSOS in collaboration with the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) found that 67 percent of Pakistanis had never encountered corruption, while 76 percent reported they had not faced nepotism. The survey examined public perceptions of corruption across multiple countries.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Official data released in the Pakistan Reforms Report showed that 135 government institutions implemented more than 600 successful reforms during the past year alone.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While welcoming Pakistan\u2019s progress, Transparency International reiterated its call for continued institutional reforms, stressing that sustained efforts are essential to further reduce the perception of corruption both in Pakistan and globally.<\/div>\n
