Transparency International (TI) has published the Corruption Perceptions Index 2012 (CPI). The CPI, originally launched in 1995, ranks countries according to how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be. The index is compiled using a combination of polls drawing on corruption-related data and also reflects the views of observers from around the world. TI has amended the way that the results are shown so that countries are now given a score between 0 and 100 (with 0 being highly corrupt and 100 being very clean). A total of 176 were rated by TI.
