CPI score: 91 (tie)

New Zealand’s score of 91 ties with the Denmark for the title of the least corrupt country in the world. The progress made by New Zealand over the past 20 years is impressive to say the least: this nation has slowly and steady transitioned from a country based on agrarian economy to a highly industrialized free market. In addition, the experts at Transparency International also appreciated this nation’s welfare system which takes into account the citizen’s needs.
