ULAN BATOR, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia has been ranked 114th out of 180 countries in the 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), Transparency International (TI) Mongolia announced on Tuesday.

Despite maintaining a CPI score of 33 points in both 2023 and 2024, Mongolia moved up seven places in the global ranking compared to the previous year.

The CPI evaluates 180 countries and territories based on perceived levels of public sector corruption, using a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

Published annually by the non-governmental organization TI, the index assesses corruption based on factors such as bribery, misuse of public funds, abuse of public office for personal gain, and nepotism in civil service.

Denmark topped the 2024 index with a score of 90, maintaining its position as the least corrupt country, while South Sudan ranked last with a score of 8, reflecting severe corruption challenges. Enditem
