3. Sweden
Let’s move on to the top 3 most corruption free countries in the world. The third place goes to Sweden. The country’s latest CPI score (2015) is 89.
Sweden has its own dictionary for corruption. It is not just about misusing money, but also misusing power. This means other crimes such as embezzlement, fraud, and breach of trust against a principal are also considered as corruption.
The Swedish government agencies are characterized by a high degree of transparency, integrity, and accountability. They are also supported by effective legal and institutional framework.
Besides being open and transparent in conducting both public and private sectors, the Swedish have a strong respect towards the law.
