Sources and methodology

The source is Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index (2024). The original analysis starts in 2012 because the CPI changed from a 0–10 to a 0–100 scale that year. Region assignments follow the groupings shown in the chart's inset map. The processing steps are in the original Quarto analysis.
