Overview
Chile's control of corruption stood at 0.93 in 2025, a decline of +0.04 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.93 by 2025. Chile ranked 39th globally.
Chile’s control of corruption score on the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators fell from an early‑time high of 1.45 in 1996 to an all‑time peak of 1.54 in 2012, before slipping to a trough of 0.93 in 2025, placing it 39th globally. The 2025 figure of 0.93 matches the current scores of Austria and Korea, underscoring that Chile now performs at a level comparable to these advanced economies. The 26‑year series shows a clear downward trajectory after the 2012 peak, reflecting growing challenges in regulatory enforcement and public‑sector transparency. While the recent score aligns Chile with peers that have relatively strong anti‑corruption frameworks, further improvement will likely depend on the implementation of comprehensive reforms in judicial independence, procurement oversight, and civil‑society engagement, which could reverse the recent decline and lift the country’s ranking in subsequent assessments.
