Madagascar’s control of corruption score has slipped from a modest –0.37 in 1996 to –0.94 in 2025, placing the country at 159th out of 190 economies in the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators. The index reached its all‑time high of 0.00 in 2002, suggesting a brief period of perceived improvement, but a sharp decline followed, culminating in an all‑time low of –1.07 in 2017. Over the 26‑year coverage, the downward trajectory has been steady, with the latest figure mirroring the scores of peers such as Peru (–0.93) and Guinea (–0.94). The persistent negative values indicate that public officials are widely perceived as engaging in corrupt practices, undermining service delivery and foreign investment. If anti‑corruption reforms are institutionalised, including stronger oversight mechanisms and greater civil‑society participation, Madagascar could halt the decline and gradually move toward a more favourable standing in future assessments.
