Thailand slips three places In graft index

In a list of 180 countries, Thailand fell to 99 from 96 in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) in 2018.

Patricia Moreira, managing director of international secretariat of Transparency International, said Thailand’s score was 36 out of 100 last year, down from 37 a year earlier.
She explained that corruption undermines democracy, leads to a vicious cycle and weakens democratic institutions, eventually corruption becomes so ingrained in society that it cannot be eliminated.
Since 1995, the index is published annually by Berlin-based Transparency International, which ranks countries “by their corruption levels, as set by expert assessments and opinion surveys”.
