Ukraine scored 33 points out of 100 in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) for 2022. This year, our score increased by one point, and now Ukraine ranks 116th out of 180 countries.

The results can be found on the website of Transparency International Ukraine.

Despite the Russian invasion, our country has shown that the fight against corruption is a sustainable process that continues even in the most difficult period of the state's existence. However, there is still a lot of work to be done in this area.

Over the past 10 years, Ukraine's score has increased by 8 points. The points gained in 2022 are the highest score for our country since the launch of the updated CPI methodology.

“Ukraine has shown that the fight against corruption continues even in times of war,” explains Andrii Borovyk, Executive Director of Transparency International Ukraine. “However, we should understand that all the success of anti-corruption reform over the past decade can quickly come to naught. The latest high-profile corruption cases, including procurement during the war with Russia, are difficult to explain not only to Ukrainians, who are fighting for our freedom each on their own front, but also to foreign partners. If data that do not pose a security threat continue to be closed, e-declarations of officials are not restored, and Ukrainians in general have very limited opportunities to learn about the work of the government, we will lose our position faster than we can imagine.”

Ukraine's progress in the Corruption Perceptions Index over the past 10 years has shown that positive changes are possible if there is political will. During this time, Ukraine has made a truly remarkable increase in CPI, the national anti-corruption system has shown its capability, and the world has recognized these successes. But against the backdrop of the global ranking, our results still show that there is still a lot of work to be done.
