Bangalore: India is still
perceived to be one of the most corrupt countries by Transparency
International in its annual corruption perceptions. The country
ranks 84th in the list of 'World's most corrupt nations' due to high
public-sector corruption.
India's integrity score, a major component of the survey, stands at
3.4 out of the highest score of 10, which indicates that the country
has a long way to go as far as eradicating corruption is concerned.
While releasing
the names of the world's most corrupt countries, the international
watchdog has for the first time recommended that tax havens like
Switzerland and Liechtenstein should do away with the secrecy in
banking laws.
"Corrupt money must not find safe haven. It is time to put an end to
secrecy in banking laws," said the Berlin-based group's Head
Huguette Labelle. The bottom five nations were Somalia, Afghanistan,
Myanmar, Sudan and Iraq, while the cleanest countries with ranking
close to perfect 10 were New Zealand, Denmark and Singapore.
Even China scored 3.6 on the scale, thereby indicating slightly
better position than India in terms of perception of corrupt
countries. In India's other neighbouring countries, Nepal was at
143rd position much below India, Pakistan scored 2.4 claiming 139th
position along with Bangladesh while Sri Lanka scored 3.1 and stood
at 97th position.
"Transparency international has found that strong correlation
between corruption and poverty continued to exist, jeopardising the
global fight against poverty and threatening to derail the United
Nations Millennium Development Goals," Admiral (Retd.) R H Tahiliani,
Chairman of Transparency International India said in a statement.
