**Ukraine’s Corruption Ratings Slump**
Ukraine has dropped one point in the 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). This means it now scores 35 out of 100, placing it 105th among 180 countries.
This small change might seem insignificant. However, it shows that Ukraine’s efforts to fight corruption have stalled. Last year, the government took steps to improve things, but these actions did not pay off as expected.
The CPI score is a warning sign for Ukrainian authorities. It suggests that the country’s internal problems are holding back progress in combating corruption. To overcome these issues, more than just small changes are needed – systemic reforms in governance are necessary.
