Singapore has retained its standing as the world’s third least corrupt country out of 182 countries, according to the latest rankings by the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index (TI-CPI).  With a score of 84 which is same as last year, Singapore has also maintained its top country ranking in the Asia Pacific region. The TI-CPI ranks and measures countries based on perceived levels of public sector corruption. The 2025 index draws upon 13 expert assessments and business surveys.

2. The corruption situation in Singapore remains firmly under control. The number of public sector corruption cases remains low. The public perception surveys conducted by the CPIB show strong public support and confidence in the country’s corruption control efforts.

3. Singapore also ranked well in two other international reports. In the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2025, Singapore ranked second for absence of corruption, the top Asian nation out of 143 countries. In the 2025 Report on Corruption by the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC), Singapore received the best score out of 16 economies in Asia, the US and Australia.

4. Singapore’s strong performance in the 2025 TI-CPI is underpinned by robust legislations, effective enforcement, and a vigilant society united by a shared commitment to integrity. This zero-tolerance towards corruption and collective determination to do the right thing remain the cornerstone of Singapore’s enduring reputation as a clean and corrupt-free nation.
