Antigua and Barbuda's control of corruption, as measured by the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 26 years. Notably, the country's all-time peak of 1.32 in 2009, ranked higher than peer country Bahrain's 2009 score of 1.24, indicates a relatively high level of transparency and accountability. Conversely, the all-time trough of 0.20 in 2017, ranked below Kiribati's 2017 score of 0.27, suggests a severe erosion of trust in government institutions. The latest available data for 2025 shows a moderate score of 0.37, ranking 73rd globally, which is slightly higher than Aruba's 2025 score of 0.36. While the trajectory indicates some improvement over the past few years, sustained investment in institutional reform and anti-corruption efforts will be necessary to solidify progress and potentially surpass peer countries like Bahrain, which has shown a steady increase in its control of corruption score in recent years.
