6. Iraq
Tied with Libya on 161th rank and 16 score of CPI is Iraq. As if the war is not making the country suffers enough, corruption has also become one of Iraq’s problems.
Petty corruption is highly institutionalized in Iraqi society. Most of Iraqi political parties and public servants are considered corrupt.
The war is not the only thing that is making it hard for Iraq to develop. Investors are facing problems in terms of doing business in Iraq. Because the corrupt government grants the permission and license.
It is often and common for public contracts to be awarded to companies with political connections. When they managed to dodge that, there are always bureaucratic hurdles to stop them along the way.
