Using composite indexes, the Transparency International CPI is a process that measures the perceived levels of public-sector corruption in a particular country, drawn on different expert and business surveys. In this CPI, there were a total of 180 countries scored on a scale from zero (highly corrupt) to ten (highly clean).
The ranking also considered “Confidence Range” as support variable in ranking the surveyed countries.
