Lebanon's Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2023 is 24/100 and the country ranked 149th out of 180, recording its lowest score in three years. This confirms the need for urgent remediation and corrective action, says the annual report of Transparency International, a leader in the fight against corruption, published on Tuesday.
The organization announced that throughout 2024, it will conduct an in-depth study of the critical interconnection between corruption and injustice, and actively call for fundamental reforms to address the underlying causes of this scourge.
Transparency International – Lebanon draws attention to the important aspects that need to be addressed this year in order to tackle the root causes of corruption and resolve the major problems, including the urgent implementation of the law on the right of access to information, transparency regarding the number of civil servants, speeding up implementation of the public procurement strategy, remedying ambiguous practices in public finance management, empowering the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and implementing the independence of the judiciary.
Transparency International – Lebanon stressed that it would continue to call on the Lebanese State to respond rapidly to these recommendations, noting the need to take immediate and decisive action to combat corruption and promote a fairer, more transparent society.
Transparency International has been publishing its annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), which measures corruption in 180 countries, since 1995. Over the years, the CPI has become the world's benchmark indicator of corruption.
