Overview
Cuba's control of corruption stood at -0.08 in 2025, a decline of +0.03 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -0.08 by 2025. Cuba ranked 97th globally.
Cuba's control of corruption has experienced a downward trajectory since its peak in 2002, when the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) recorded a score of 0.40. This marked the country's highest level of perceived anti-corruption efforts in the 26-year period of available data. However, since then, Cuba's score has steadily declined, reaching a low of -0.15 in 2020. The country's current score stands at -0.08, ranking it #97 globally, placing it closely behind peer countries such as Ghana (-0.07) and Hungary (-0.09). This significant decline indicates a growing perception of corruption within the country's governance structure. The downward trend suggests that efforts to combat corruption may be waning, and that Cuba's institutions may be struggling to maintain the trust of its citizens. A reversal of this trend would likely require a concerted effort to reform the country's governance practices and strengthen its institutions, potentially through a combination of economic and political reforms.
