Jamaica has retained its corrupt ranking according to global anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International.
In its 2011 Global Corruption Perception Index (CPI) Rankings, which were released late last night, Jamaica scored at a CPI of 3.3 out of a possible 10, with a country ranking of 86 out of 182 countries.
In 2010, the country’s CPI score was also 3.3, while it was ranked 87 out of 178 countries.
The CPI ranks countries according to their perceived levels of public-sector corruption.
The 2011 index draws on different assessments and business opinion surveys that are carried out by independent reputable institutions.
The surveys and assessments that are used to compile the index include questions which relate to the bribery of public officials, kickbacks in public procurement, embezzlement of public funds, and questions that probe the strength and effectiveness of public-sector anti-corruption efforts.
