Abstract
Key findings in the Global Corruption Barometer 2007 are: • The poor, whether in developing or highly industrialised countries, are the most penalised by corruption. They are also more pessimistic about the prospects for less corruption in the future. • About 1 in 10 people around the world had to pay a bribe in the past year; reported bribery has increased in some regions, such as Asia-Pacific and South East Europe.5 • Bribery is particularly widespread in interactions with the police, the judiciary and registry and permit services. • The general public believe political parties, parliament, the police and the judicial/legal system are the most corrupt institutions in their societies. • Half of those interviewed – and significantly more than four years ago – expect corruption in their country to increase in the next three years, with some African countries the exception. • Half of those interviewed also think that their government’s efforts to fight corruption are ineffective.
