Paraguay's control of corruption, as measured by the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators, has experienced a mixed trajectory over the past 26 years. The country's all-time trough in 2003 saw a significant decline in governance standards, with a score of -1.44. However, Paraguay has since made progress, with an all-time peak in 2011 reaching a score of -0.70. Despite slipping in recent years, Paraguay's current score of -1.21 is comparable to that of its peer countries, such as Honduras.
