This article will look at the relationship between corruption, economic growth and standards of living. There is a widespread perception that dishonesty and corruption act as barriers to economic progress.
Transparency International (see www.transparency.org.uk) seeks to measure the extent of corruption across different countries by publishing a corruption perceptions index (CP index). This measures the perceived level of corruption in the public sector. It is scaled so that zero represents a very high degree of corruption and 100 corresponds to no corruption.
