Overview
Kosovo's control of corruption stood at 0.01 in 2025, a rise of +0.19 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.01 by 2025. Kosovo ranked 92nd globally.
Kosovo’s control‑of‑corruption score on the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators has deteriorated sharply since the early 2000s, falling from its all‑time peak of 0.37 in 2000 to a historic trough of –0.74 in 2007 and reaching a modest 0.01 in 2025, placing it 92nd in the global ranking. The 24‑year series shows a persistent downward bias, with the 2025 figure barely above the scores of peers such as Namibia (0.04) and Senegal (0.06), and well below Oman (‑0.03) and Jamaica (‑0.06). The early‑2000s peak coincided with the post‑conflict institutional rebuilding phase, while the 2007 trough reflects a period of political instability and weak enforcement mechanisms. Recent modest improvement suggests incremental reforms, yet the near‑zero level indicates that substantive anti‑corruption measures remain essential. Strengthening judicial independence and enhancing public‑sector transparency could reverse the current trajectory and lift Kosovo’s standing in future assessments.
