Overview
Czechia's control of corruption stood at 0.86 in 2025, a rise of +0.09 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.86 by 2025. Czechia ranked 43rd globally.
Czechia’s score for control of corruption in the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators rose from 0.68 in 1996 to a historic high of 0.86 in 2025, placing the country 43rd globally. The trajectory includes a dramatic trough of 0.15 in 2000, after which reforms and stronger institutional frameworks lifted the index steadily over the subsequent two decades. By 2025 Czechia’s rating is marginally below Israel’s 0.89 and close to Tuvalu’s 0.84, suggesting it now competes with the better‑performing peers in the region. The 26‑year coverage shows a consistent upward swing, reflecting improved transparency, more rigorous public‑sector audits, and intensified anti‑corruption legislation. If the current policy momentum is maintained and further digitalisation of public services expands, Czechia is likely to sustain its upward trend and could narrow the gap with higher‑ranking peers such as Korea, which scores 0.93.
