Global Corruption Perception Index (CPI) Transparency International 2007 www.transparentnost.org.yu www.transparency.org/surveys/#cpi
Corruption Perception Index for 2007 • Measures the level in which the corruption of public servants and politicians is perceived • Index is made on the bases of fourteen different researches and studies, which were conducted by twelve independent institutions questioning businessmen, analysts and local experts
CPI 2007 – The best and the worst Countries recognized as the least corrupted Countries recognized as the most corrupted
CPI goals • To measure how much is the corruption perceived in public sector by businessmen, experts and analysts of risk • To promote comparative comprehension of the level of corruption • To offer overview of decision makers’ points of view which affects the market and investments • To stimulate scientific researches, analysis of the cause and consequences of corruption, in international and domestic level • To contribute to building the public consciousness about corruption – and create climate for changes
Methodology • CPI is “research of group of researches” which is conducted every year and provides information which can continuously be monitored • Minimum three researches by country - Research includes previous two years • Countries are scored on the scale from 10 (very ‘clean’) to 0 (very corrupted). • Perception is questioned and not the facts (e.g. number of convictions, number of media texts) • Corruption determined as “abuse of public authorities for private interests”
Possibility of comparing • Index represents overviewof points of view of businessmen and analysts about certain countries’ situation and doesn’t reflect necessarily trends for certain years • Score is more relevant than the rank on the list (because the number of countries included in the list is constantly increasing) • Index changes of certain countries can be a result of sample changes – researches taken into consideration when creating the index
Disadvantages and advantages of CPI • Index doesn’t reflect the level of efforts invested into fight against corruption • Developing countries can be shown in worse light due to prejudice and pre convictions of foreign investors (that is why other instruments for measuring corruption exist) • Other instruments for measuring corruption also come to similar results as CPI • CPI is good chance to promote public debate on corruption • CPI is good stimulation for conducting further analysis • CPI includes almost all the world countries

CPI 2007 – ex SFRJ 79. place
Recent rankings of Serbia • Data from 2000: facing with catastrophic picture of Serbia; 2003 – 2007 : negative perception changes slowly, still in the society of highly corrupted countries; ranking of Serbia similar as neighbors’ from ex SFRJ • Tendency of minimal growth held – measures that would bring to rapid change of corruption perception aren’t implemented • Progress partially caused by external factors (special researches conducted for Montenegro and Kosovo) • Eternal question: Which changes “in practice” stimulate progress?
Changes “in practice” in the last year • Political will: 5. priority, not known what is included and how will it be implemented • Strategy, action plan and international obligations: still no efficient mechanism for their implementation • Prevention: finally established new independent state organs; obstruction of work of already existing • Represion: arresting and trials in several large cases; insufficient capacities and delay of new investigation techniques’ implementation; doubts in selectivity • Political corruption: getting worse (ar. 102 of the Constitution, remaining of system of “spoil division”, inadequate control of election campaign expenses)
