Tbilisi. 22 February 2018 – Georgia is ranked 46th among 180 countries with the score of 56 points in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2017 published by Berlin-based Transparency International Secretariat. Georgia ranks highest in the region of Eastern Europe (not including the members of the European Union) and Central Asia.

''According to this year’s survey, Georgia’s ranking worsened compared to the previous year although (based on the survey methodology) a decrease of the score by one point is considered insignificant. The stability of Georgia’s position in CPI over the past several years (and its worsening in 2017) indicates that, after Georgia made a certain progress, its government needs step up its anti-corruption efforts'', is noted in the statement.
