Global public sector corruption ranking to be launched this week

The CPI uses a scale from 0 – highly corrupt – to 100 – very clean.
Last year, Denmark was ranked as the least corrupt country, followed by New Zealand in second and Finland in third place.
The most corrupt countries were Somalia and North Korea, which both came in 174th place and followed Sudan.
The 2015 CPI launch will take place at Plaisterer’s Hall in east London at 18:00 GMT.
The event, sponsored by EY, will kick off with a presentation by TI UK’s executive director Dr Robert Barrington, which will be followed by a panel discussion.
