Transparency International (TI) released its 2019 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) on 23 January 2020.

TI reports that the Asia Pacific region has not witnessed substantial progress in anti-corruption efforts. With a regional average CPI score of 45 after many consecutive years of an average of 44, TI considers that there is general stagnation across the region.
