Thailand’s Corruption Index Score Falls in 2025

Thailand’s performance in the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) has declined slightly, with the country scoring 33 out of 100 — down from its previous score — and ranking 116th out of 182 countries. The CPI, compiled annually by Transparency International, measures perceived levels of public sector corruption around the world, with lower scores indicating higher perceived corruption. Thailand’s downward shift has sparked discussion among policymakers, analysts, and civil society groups about the need for stronger anti-corruption measures, increased transparency, and improved governance. The government says it is reviewing the report’s findings and considering reforms to strengthen accountability and restore public confidence.
