Belarus's control of corruption stood at -1.04 in 2025, a decline of +0.38 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -1.04 by 2025. Belarus ranked 166th globally.
Belarus has exhibited a concerning trend in control of corruption, as indicated by the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators. Since its all-time peak of 0.01 in 2019, the country has regressed to its current ranking of #166 globally, with a score of -1.04. This decline is particularly striking when compared to its all-time trough in 2025, marking a significant deterioration in governance. In comparison, countries with comparable rankings, such as Nigeria with a score of -1.05, have also struggled with corruption. The 26-year period of data collection shows a persistent issue, with the lowest score in 2025 being a stark contrast to the -0.39 recorded in 1996. A continued downward trajectory could be mitigated with significant reforms aimed at increasing transparency and accountability within the government.
