Control of Corruption: Percentile Rank, Upper Bound of 90% Confidence Interval

This metric evaluates the perceptions surrounding the misuse of public authority for personal gain, encompassing both minor and significant corrupt practices, along with instances where powerful entities exploit government resources for their own advantage. Ranked on a percentile scale from 0 to 100, this indicator positions countries relative to each other, with adjustments made to account for shifts in country involvement over time in the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI). The upper bound value signifies the highest estimate within a 90% confidence interval, offering a nuanced understanding of governance quality. By highlighting the potential variability in the corruption perception, this measure serves as a critical tool for policymakers and researchers in identifying areas for reform and monitoring progress in combating corruption effectively.
