Seychelles News – Corruption Perceptions Index 2022: Seychelles tops the African region for the 5th consecutive year

Article Published on February 28, 2023

The latest analysis from the 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) depicts a gradual decrease in the level of peace globally, a phenomenon largely attributed to most countries losing the fight against corruption. This report from Transparency International ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of levels of public sector corruption and assigns scores from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

Seychelles yet again boasts a phenomenal performance by ranking 23rd globally and scoring 70 points. The nation therefore remains the least corrupt country in Africa.

Indeed, the country has gained 18 points on its score since 2012, reflected through, amongst others, amendments to its Anti-Corruption Act in 2019.
