Georgia Out of ‘Rampant Corruption’ List
Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 26 Sep.'07 / 18:48

Georgia has moved out of the group of countries considered to have “a rampant corruption problem,” the Berlin-based corruption watchdog Transparency International (TI) said on September 26.

TI’s annual Corruption Perceptions Index 2007, which measures the degree to which corruption is perceived to exist in a given country ranked Georgia 79th out of 180 countries listed in the report. Georgia received 3.4 out of a total ten.

TI said it was “a significant improvement” over the score in 2006 (2.8), when Georgia was 99th out of a total 163 listed.

“Nevertheless, a score of 3.4 still indicates that corruption is a significant problem in the public sector,” it said.
