Transparency International has released its Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2025, placing Pakistan at 136 out of 182 countries and territories, with the country’s overall score improving to 28.
The CPI assesses perceived corruption in the public sector on a 0–100 scale, where higher scores indicate cleaner governance. The report notes Pakistan’s position improved by one place compared with the prior year’s ranking.
The coverage also highlights broader CPI findings, including concerns that corruption pressures are rising in many parts of the world and that shrinking civic space in several countries can undermine accountability.
In Pakistan’s context, the report references calls for sustained governance and institutional reforms, with emphasis on implementing recommended anti-corruption and governance measures to keep progress from stalling.
