Indonesia and Hungary topped the ranking, with 61% and 54% of respondents, respectively, naming corruption as a top 3 worry, ahead of Peru (53%) and South Africa (52%).
At the other end of the scale, respondents from the Netherlands, Germany and Singapore were most likely not to see corruption as a top 3 issue in their country (less than 10%, respectively).
In the US, the level of concern on this matter was relatively close to the global average (23%).
Several countries have experienced a significant surge in public concerns about corruption since the end of 2024, especially in Brazil (+9 percentage points), as well as South Africa, Peru, Mexico, Argentina and Turkey (+5 to +7 p.p.).
In the US no change in the past 12 months? That is surprising after learning about many many rather overt corruption cases that have come to light in that period.
Grifters got to Grift.
And they’re certainly keeping in practice.
