Somalia's Control of Corruption, as measured by the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators, has exhibited a downward trend over the past 26 years. The country's all-time peak of -1.03 in 2002, while still a negative score, reflects a relatively stable period. Conversely, the all-time trough of -1.85 in 2008 indicates a significant deterioration. Since then, the situation has continued to deteriorate, with the latest value of -1.80 in 2025 ranking Somalia 201st globally. This is comparable to Yemen, which ranks slightly higher at -1.62. The persistent decline in control of corruption in Somalia is a major concern. Addressing this issue will require significant reforms and efforts from the government, potentially through strengthened institutions and more effective anti-corruption measures. A reversal of this trend may depend on the ability of the Somali government to effectively implement policies and secure international support to combat corruption.
