Control of Corruption CC.EST

Overview
Morocco's control of corruption stood at -0.57 in 2025, a decline of +0.03 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -0.57 by 2025. Morocco ranked 136th globally.
Morocco’s control‑of‑corruption score on the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators has slipped from a modest 0.10 in 1998, its all‑time peak, to –0.57 in 2025, the lowest point in the 26‑year series and placing the country 136th globally. The early‑mid‑1990s figure of –0.11 in 1996 already signalled a weakening institutional environment, but the subsequent decline accelerated after the turn of the millennium, culminating in the 2025 trough that now matches the scores of peers such as Mongolia (–0.57) and Algeria (–0.57) and is only marginally better than Niger (–0.56) and Ukraine (–0.58). This downward trajectory reflects persistent challenges in law enforcement, public sector transparency and judicial independence, which have eroded public confidence and deterred foreign investment. If Morocco strengthens anti‑corruption legislation, improves enforcement mechanisms and enhances civil‑society oversight, the current negative trend could be reversed, fostering a more credible governance framework in the coming years.
