Corruption is the worst enemy of any developing country which seeks to improve its economic growth. It has a lot to do with the mentality of the people and the way they view themselves as members of a community.

Mabodofu... Japan is off the list..There is no corruption here - it's just " Japanese culture and customs " that us gaijin don't understand :-)

No surprise. That's what happens when the government inserts itself into the marketplace. Greedy politicians take bribes from greedy businesses. Let the free market run, and corruption would be shattered. There can't be any crony capitalism if politicians dont have any power to rig/sabotage the marketplace

At the other, more virtuous, end of the scale, New Zealand topped the ranking with 9.5 points,

Good to see kiwi's ranking in No: 1 place again .
