Grenada Control of Corruption

Grenada’s score on the World Bank’s Control of Corruption indicator has slipped markedly over the 26‑year series, falling from an early‑period high of 0.87 in 1996 and a brief all‑time peak of 0.88 in 1998 to a deep trough of 0.31 in 2014, before modestly rebounding to 0.67 in 2025, which places the country 54th in the global ranking. The recent figure is comparable to peer nations such as Botswana (0.68) and Slovenia (0.69), suggesting Grenada is now positioned near the median of the sample set rather than the higher echelons it once occupied. The long‑term decline reflects persistent governance challenges, while the post‑trough improvement may be linked to recent anti‑corruption reforms and stronger institutional oversight. Continued policy reinforcement, greater transparency in public procurement, and enhanced civil‑society monitoring could further raise the score, steering Grenada toward a more favorable trajectory in the next decade.
