Georgia ranks 32nd in Public Integrity Index based on ERCAS research

European Research Centre for Anti-corruption and State-building (ERCAS) published integrity and transparency data of world countries.

Georgia ranked the 32nd in the Index of Public Integrity. It leads in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and comes second after Estonia in the post-Soviet space.

Georgian Governmental Administration Head Ilia Darchiashvili said that Georgia continues to progress and lead in the international research and ratings.

The index is calculated based on several components such as juridical independence, administrative burden, trade openness, budget transparency, E-citizenship and Freedom of the press.

The research on the Index of Public Integrity is conducted once every two years. The European Anti-Corruption Center started its publication in 2015. The index draws on research and the reports of the United Nations, the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, other internationally recognized entities, and global valuing organizations.
