10 Least Corrupt Countries in Europe
Do you know the names of the ten least corrupt countries in Europe?
While some European countries struggle with corruption, others have consistently ranked among the least corrupt, thanks to their strong anti-corruption measures and high levels of transparency.
10. Austria
In Austria, corruption is primarily linked to misuse of authority and trading of influence. However, the country maintains a robust institutional and legal framework, ensuring that most corruption cases under parliamentary scrutiny lead to judicial proceedings and practical rulings.
9. Finland
While no nation is entirely free of corruption, Finland remains one of the least corrupt countries in the world. In everyday life, citizens rarely encounter corruption, largely due to the absence of street-level corruption—such as bribing officials for essential services like healthcare.
8. Belgium
Belgium, like many other wealthy European nations, is making steady progress in combating corruption. Research suggests that corruption is rare and does not significantly hinder business operations.
7. France
In Transparency International’s 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), France scored 71 out of 100, positioning it 20th among 180 countries. The CPI ranks nations on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean), and France's score reflects its commitment to transparency.
6. Germany
In Transparency International's 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), Germany ranks 9th out of 180 countries, reinforcing its reputation as one of the least corrupt nations in Europe. The top-ranked countries in the CPI are recognized for having the most transparent public sectors.
5. The Netherlands
The Dutch government prioritizes the fight against corruption, maintaining high levels of integrity across key sectors such as judiciary, law enforcement, business, and politics. As a result, the Netherlands is consistently ranked among the least corrupt nations in the European Union.
4. Norway
Norway is renowned for its zero-tolerance stance on corruption, boasting one of the lowest corruption levels in the world. Business transactions in the country are highly transparent, reinforcing its reputation for strong ethical governance.
3. Denmark
Denmark consistently ranks among the least corrupt countries in the world, according to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. A combination of strong governance, press freedom, and transparency in public spending reinforces its reputation for integrity.
2. Sweden
Sweden boasts one of the lowest corruption rates in the world, as highlighted in the 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). Ranking 6th out of 180 nations, Sweden upholds high standards of integrity and transparency within its public sector.
1. Switzerland
Public administrations worldwide are inherently vulnerable to corruption, and Switzerland is no exception. As one of the most competitive economies, corruption remains a concern in both the public and private sectors.
Switzerland enforces strict penalties for corruption. Active and passive bribery involving Swiss or foreign public officials can result in up to five years of imprisonment or heavy financial penalties. In the private sector, bribery and improper advantages can lead to three years of imprisonment or fines.
