💥 BREAKING: U.S. Hits Record Low on Global Corruption Index
The United States has just dropped to its lowest position ever on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI).
Falling to 29th place globally, the U.S. now shares its ranking with the Bahamas—marking a significant downward trend in public-sector integrity.
The Key Details:
Record Low Score: The U.S. score fell to 64/100, the worst showing since the current methodology began.
The Drivers: Experts point to weakened enforcement of anti-corruption laws, a pause in foreign bribery investigations, and declining judicial independence.
A Global Trend: It’s not just the U.S.—other major democracies like Canada and the UK also saw declines as global trust in public institutions wavers.
Why it matters: Corruption isn't just a "political" issue; it affects market stability, fair competition, and international investment. When the world's largest economy slips, the global financial signal is clear: transparency is under pressure. 📉
