Overview
Austria's control of corruption stood at 0.93 in 2025, a decline of +0.20 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.93 by 2025. Austria ranked 40th globally.
Austria's control of corruption score has exhibited a downward trend over the past two decades. With a score of 0.93 in 2025, ranking 40th globally, the country has fallen short of its peak performance in 2004 when it registered a score of 2.03. This marked a period of relative stability and low corruption in Austria, but the subsequent decline suggests a more complex reality. Peer countries such as Chile, which shares the same score of 0.93, have maintained a more consistent level of control over corruption. The current score is a reflection of the challenges Austria faces in maintaining a high level of governance integrity. A continued decline in the control of corruption score could undermine investor confidence and hinder economic growth, highlighting the need for effective anti-corruption measures to address this trend.
