Corruption Perception Index 2005

Transparency International's latest Corruption Perceptions Index labels Bangladesh and Chad as the most corrupt places on the planet. According the Index, little has changed from 2004 to 2005.

"Corruption is a major cause of poverty as well as a barrier to overcoming it," said TI chairman Peter Eigen. "The two scourges feed off each other, locking their populations into a cycle of misery."
