  1. Global Corruption Perception Index (CPI) Transparency International 2006 www.transparentnost.org.yu www.transparency.org/surveys/#cpi

  2. Corruption Perception Index for 2006 • Measures the level in which the corruption of public servants and politicians is perceived • Index is made on the bases of twelve different researches and studies, which were conducted by nine independent institutions questioning businessmen, analysts and local experts

  3. CPI 2006 – The best and the worst Countries recognized as the least corrupted Countries recognized as the most corrupted

  4. 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

  5. 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”

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. Resources • CPIA: Country Policy and Institutional Assessment by the IDA and IBRD • EIU: Economist Intelligence Unit • FH: Freedom House, Nations in Transit • IMD: World Competitiveness Report of the Institute for Management Development • MIG: Merchant International Group • PERC: Political and Economic Risk Consultancy, Hong Kong • UNECA: United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, African Governance Report • WEF: Global Competitiveness Report of the World Economic Forum • WMRC: World Markets Research Centre

  14. Evolution of SCG and Serbia

  15. SCG and Serbia’s place by years

  16. Reactions to recent ranking • Data from 2000: facing with catastrophic picture of Serbia • 2003: Expected larger move on the list, but the perception changes slowly • 2004: New move made – getting close to real state • 2005 and 2006: Minimal trend of increase is kept – no radical changes which would lead to fast change of corruption perception • Corruption perception in Serbia is similar to that in surrounding countries – progress exists but is very slow

  17. CPI results and Serbia • Countries can ignore CPI results only on their damage – even if it doesn’t reflect totally to real state of things, CPI is good index of what other people think of us • Adopted strategy for fight against corruption must be elaborated as soon as possible through quality action plans and their implementation should be controlled • If the anticorruption regulations and institutions are just established, and their functioning in practice isn’t enabled, important move can’t be expected • Ambient for business must be renovated through guarantee of legal safety, effective court protection and decreasing chance of the bureaucracy to extort bribe
