Romania obtained 45 points in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2025, below the average of fragile democracies, which stands at 47 points, according to the report released on Tuesday, February 10, by the organization. As such, the country remains among the last three states in the EU in the CPI ranking, alongside Bulgaria (40) and Hungary (40).
The Corruption Perceptions Index measures perceptions of corruption in the public sector of 182 states and territories by aggregating data from 13 independent sources. The ranking is compiled by awarding points from 0 to 100, where zero means ‘highly corrupt’ and 100 means ‘not corrupt at all.’
