According to a report released by Transparency International, which is a leading civil society organization working to end corruption worldwide, Pakistan’s score has lowered to 31/100 from 32/100 in 2019 and rank to 124/180 from 120/180 in 2019.
Sohail Muzaffar, Chairman TI Pakistan while expressing disappointment said that Pakistan has slipped four ranks despite claims by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to have recovered Rs 363 billion in the last two years.
Top spots have been clinched by Denmark and New Zealand with 88 points. Syria, Somalia and South Sudan came last with 14, 12 and 12 points, respectively.
