"We want to ultimately rank among the world's leading countries, even in the top three, in terms of low corruption. There is political will for this, and the rest depends on the right policies," wrote Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on social media, responding to the Corruption Perceptions Index published by Transparency International.

According to Kobakhidze, the Georgian government will do everything possible to ensure maximum progress in this direction.

"The Georgian government will do everything to maximize the country's progress in this area. For example, in the case of the government, you know that every decree, every legal act adopted by the government is transparent, and thousands of our acts have been made public through our website. There has never been any complaint regarding any of these acts. I would, of course, advise all public institutions to follow the example of the Georgian government, to be proactive, and to be transparent," the Prime Minister wrote.

According to Transparency International Georgia, the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) for 2024, published by Transparency International, shows that Georgia's score remains unchanged at 53. On a 100-point scale, 53 is an average result and represents the lowest score since 2015.

"This result indicates that petty bribery is not widespread in Georgia; however, no specific reforms have been implemented that could be considered a step forward in combating low-level corruption.

Nevertheless, Georgia remains a leading country in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region in terms of low corruption, which reflects the effectiveness of reforms carried out years ago to combat corruption and improve access to public services," the report states.
