2023 Corruption Perception Index (IPC) published

Summary:

The 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) report by Transparency International (TI) recognizes advances in social control, transparency, and access to information in Brazil. The report highlights the Controladoria-Geral da Uniu00e3o's (CGU) efforts in reversing nearly 200 abusive secrecy measures and establishing rules to prevent new violations of the Freedom of Information Act. The CGU is also working daily to identify and correct corruption risks in public policies, contracts, and other government actions, while strengthening federal agency integrity and implementing public integrity programs. However, the report notes that corruption is a complex phenomenon, and no single indicator can fully capture its scope. International organizations are discussing the development of new measures to combat corruption.
