Corruption Perceptions Index: Colombia is very low

http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2007

Colombia ranks pretty low on the 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index.

Well, Colombia ranked 68 out of 180 countries.

Not ideal, and no one would seriously say Colombia is without corruption.

But it is also significantly better than the median. Worth pointing out, your comment does not give this impression. In Latin America it is pretty good. Chile is better, of course (#20 or so). Costa Rica, Cuba and El Salvador a little better on this survey. Colombia beats most of the other countries in the region, meaning lots of places did worse.

I don't trust this survey too much... Canada has dealt with corruption... i know for a fact it still deals with it, and we're the least corrupt country according to the colour coded graph?

And good god, we all know Colombia is fairly corrupt. There have been positive measures to reduce corruption though, which is great.

Man Tequila , that is a Great optimistic view. There´s more alot more work to do to improve colombia´s rep.

I agree. It´s not THAT bad, i guess.

Now as far as positive measures to reduce corruption, well I thought tath as well but then this para-politica set Colombia back years!

Smile if you are a thinker!
