In the latest Corruption Perception Index, complied by the German-based non-governmental corruption monitor, Transparency International (TI), Mongolia has moved from 72nd to 87th place, sharing this position with Panama and Zambia. All three countries received a similar score – 38 out of 100.
The CPI has been around since 1995 and measures how much corruption is perceived to exist in the public sector. The 2016 edition includes data on 176 countries and territories, each of which gets a score out of 100. The nearer to 100, the better the country is doing in its fight against corruption.
Compared to the 2015 CPI, Mongolia has fell back 15 places. This indicated that the perceptions around the extent of corruption in the country are rising.
- In 2015 Mongolian ranked 72nd with a score of 39
- In 2014 Mongolia ranked 87th with a score of 39
- In 2013 Mongolia ranked 83rd with a score of 38
- In 2012 Mongolia ranked 94th with a score of 36
Dependent government agencies such as courts, audits, legislative and enforcement agencies are causing increased corruption in Mongolia. In addition, major corruption cases go unnoticed and unpunished.
TI concluded that corruption has affected a sharp decline in Mongolian economic growth.
