Transparency International: Tajikistan country page

The Transparency International country page “Tajikistan” presents the country’s latest Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) results and related governance indicators. The report states that Tajikistan has a score of 19 on the CPI this year, with a change of 0 since last year, meaning it ranks 166 out of 182 countries. According to the page, the CPI scores 182 countries around the world and is the leading global indicator of public sector corruption. The page refers readers to “CPI 2024 for Eastern Europe & Central Asia” for key corruption issues in Tajikistan, and states — citing the Global Corruption Barometer (GCB) — that 29% of public service users paid a bribe in the previous 12 months. The page also links to a February 2025 news item titled “2024 Corruption Perceptions Index: Authoritarianism and weakening democracy undermine action against corruption in Eastern Europe and Central Asia”, which states that weak democratic institutions and rule of law are exacerbated by ongoing instability and external pressures. The country page hosts the CPI figure alongside the GCB-derived bribery percentage as headline indicators for Tajikistan and points to CPI-related regional analysis for context on key corruption issues in the country.
