Overview
Tunisia's control of corruption stood at -0.47 in 2025, a decline of +0.13 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -0.47 by 2025. Tunisia ranked 125th globally.
Tunisia’s control of corruption score on the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators has risen modestly from its all‑time trough of –0.53 in 1996 to –0.47 in 2025, placing the country at 125th position globally. The modest improvement reflects a brief peak of 0.28 in 2002, after which the index slipped back into negative territory, indicating persistent challenges despite periodic reforms. Over the 26‑year coverage period, Tunisia’s performance remains closely aligned with peers such as Indonesia (–0.46) and the Maldives (–0.47), suggesting that regional governance dynamics exert similar pressures on anti‑corruption efforts. The narrow gap between the latest score and the peer average underscores that incremental policy adjustments, such as strengthening judicial independence and enhancing transparency in public procurement, could move Tunisia marginally upward. Continued commitment to these reforms is likely to shape a gradual upward trajectory in the coming years.
