The recent reports on Pakistan's corruption levels present a mixed picture, with a slight improvement in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) score from 27 to 28 in 2025, as noted by TechJuice. However, Pakistan's global ranking fell to 136 out of 182 countries, according to Transparency International (TI), due to the expansion of the index to include more countries. Despite this marginal score improvement, Pakistan remains in the company of nations perceived as highly corrupt, such as Bolivia and Iraq, with its score significantly below its recent best of 33 in 2018, as reported by Tribune Home. The TI report highlights that small fluctuations in the CPI score are more significant than rank changes, as the latter can be influenced by other countries' performances.
