Overview
Guam's control of corruption stood at 1.31 in 2025, a rise of +0.06 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.31 by 2025. Guam ranked 29th globally.
Guam’s score on the World Bank’s Control of Corruption index rose from a trough of 0.37 in 2004 to an all‑time peak of 1.31 in 2025, placing the territory at 29th globally among 180 jurisdictions. Over the 21‑year coverage period the improvement reflects a steady strengthening of legal frameworks, increased transparency in public procurement and more rigorous enforcement of anti‑bribery statutes. The 2025 figure of 1.31 matches the scores of peer jurisdictions such as Bermuda, San Marino and Andorra, and exceeds France’s 1.22, suggesting that Guam has moved into a comparative bracket of territories with relatively robust anti‑corruption mechanisms. Nevertheless, the index remains modest on a scale that tops out at 2.5, indicating that further institutional capacity building and civil‑society oversight are required to sustain progress. Continued investment in whistle‑blower protections and digital monitoring of government contracts is likely to shape the next phase of Guam’s corruption control trajectory.
