Tajikistan’s score on the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators for Control of Corruption has slipped to –1.43 in 2025, placing it 188th among the 200‑plus economies surveyed and matching its all‑time trough recorded in 2022. The index, which ranges from –2.5 (weak) to 2.5 (strong), improved modestly from a baseline of –1.27 in 1996 to a peak of –1.04 in 2007, suggesting that early reforms temporarily curbed rent‑seeking behavior. Since that high point, the trajectory has been downward, with the most recent figure edging below the 2021 level of –1.39 recorded for the Kyrgyz Republic, a close regional peer, and marginally better than Turkmenistan’s –1.45. The persistent decline reflects entrenched patronage networks, limited transparency in public procurement, and a judiciary perceived as lacking independence. Continued fiscal consolidation and stronger civil‑society oversight could stabilize the index, but without substantive institutional reforms the downward bias is likely to persist.
