Mapping Where Corruption Is Most Rampant

Transparency International just released its 2019 Corruption Perceptions Index.

Statista's Niall McCarthy notes that the organization stating that despite anti-corruption movements gaining momentum around the world last year, a staggering number of countries have showed little to no improvement in tackling the problem.

The index ranks 180 countries and territories on perceived public sector corruption with 0 meaning "highly corrupt" and 100 meaning "very clean". This time around, more than two-thirds of countries scored 50 or below which means they have serious problems preventing foul play in their public sectors.

The average global score was 43.

Denmark and New Zealand came joint-first with a score of 87 followed by Finland, Singapore and Sweden. Somalia was rock bottom of the index with a score of just 9, followed by South Sudan and Syria with 12 and 13 respectively.

Transparency International said that only 22 countries saw a significant improvement in their scores over the past eight years including Greece, Guyana and Estonia. During the same time frame, 21 countries recorded a significant decrease with Canada, Nicaragua and Australia among their ranks.

The U.S. had a disappointing score of 69 this year, its worst score in eight years.

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis.

Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
