Lebanon ranks 143rd globally, 13th among Arab countries on corruption index

Transparency International's 2017 Corruption Perceptions Index ranked Lebanon in 143rd place among 180 countries around the world and in 13th place among 21 countries in the Arab region. Also, Lebanon came in 43rd place among 48 upper middle-income countries (UMICs) included in the 2017 survey. In comparison, Lebanon ranked in 136th place among 176 countries around the world and in 13th place among 21 countries in the Arab region. Lebanon's global rank deteriorated by four spots from the 2016 survey based on the same set of countries in both surveys, while it regressed by nine spots from the 2015 survey based on the same criteria.

Globally, Lebanon is perceived as having the same level of corruption as Bangladesh, Guatemala, Kenya and Mauritania. It is also considered to be less corrupt than the Comoros, Guinea and Nigeria and more corrupt than Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay and Russia.

Lebanon was among 32 countries globally that received a score between 20 and 29 points, a category that Transparency International classified as the third worst globally in terms of corruption perception. New Zealand was perceived as the least corrupt country worldwide, while the survey found Somalia to be the most corrupt country in the world.
