A Decade of Corruption Control in Arab Countries: 2013-2022

Corruption control captures perceptions of the extent to which public power is exercised for private gain, including both small and large forms of corruption, as well as the “capture” of the state by elites and special interests. Values for this indicator range from approximately -2.5 (weak control of corruption) to 2.5 (strong control of corruption). A higher score indicates better control of corruption. The chart displays the Corruption Control scores in six Arab countries over a decade from 2013 to 2022. The UAE stands out with a strong score, reflecting effective governance and anti-corruption measures, while countries such as Lebanon and Iraq suffer from high levels of corruption.
