Angola's control of corruption, as measured by the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators, has shown a mixed trend over the past 26 years. The country's score in 2025 stands at -0.29, ranking it 113th globally. This is the highest mark recorded for Angola, surpassing the all-time trough of -1.48 in 2016. However, this improvement is slight compared to the scores of some peer nations, such as Belize, which has a comparable score of -0.28. In contrast, countries with similar levels of economic development have made more significant strides in addressing corruption, such as Colombia, which has a score of -0.38. Despite these challenges, Angola has made some progress in recent years, and a continued commitment to governance reform could potentially propel the country towards improved rankings, potentially reversing the downward trend observed in the 2010s. A sustained effort to strengthen institutions and enhance transparency would be a crucial step in this direction.
