Indonesia losing ground in corruption battle

JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia scored worse on the latest Corruption Perception Index (CPI), but the figure is still better than five years ago, an annual global survey by Transparency International revealed Wednesday.

Of the 180 countries in the survey, Indonesia placed 143 with a CPI of 2.3, a slight decline from 2.4 in the 2006 survey, which featured 163 countries.

The CPI, ranging from zero to 10, reflects public perception of a country's commitment to fight corruption involving government officials.

The index is defined as a perception by analysts andbusinesspeople about corruption levels in a country, especially in the public sector.

The survey is a compilation of results from 14 surveys by 12 independent agencies worldwide. (Desy Nurhayati)
