Overview
Honduras's control of corruption stood at -1.21 in 2025, a decline of +0.10 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -1.21 by 2025. Honduras ranked 176th globally.
Honduras’ score on the World Bank’s Control of Corruption indicator has slipped to –1.21 in 2025, placing it 176th out of 180 economies and matching the country’s all‑time trough. The index, which ranges from –2.5 (weakest) to +2.5 (strongest), was –1.08 in 1996 and reached its best level of –0.59 in 2015, suggesting a gradual erosion of perceived integrity over the past decade. The recent decline mirrors the performance of peers such as Paraguay (–1.21) and Iraq (–1.20), both of which occupy similar positions in the global ranking. The 26‑year coverage shows a persistent downward trajectory, with the 2025 figure representing the lowest point since the series began. Continued deterioration could be arrested only by substantive reforms in public sector transparency, judicial independence and law‑enforcement accountability, which would be necessary to reverse the current negative trend.
