Singapore

SINGAPORE remained the country perceived to be Asia's least corrupt in 2016 and moved up a notch in the global rankings, according to an annual survey by Transparency International (TI).

Singapore's position in the Corruption Perceptions Index improved to seventh in 2016 from eighth the year before, according to information gathered from independent institutions over the previous 24 months. It remained the highest-ranked Asian jurisdiction, a position it has held since at least the past five surveys.
