  5. Global Corruption Barometer – Citizens’ Views and Experiences of Corruption

Global Corruption Barometer (GCB) – European Union 2021 provides an in-depth look at people’s views on corruption, as well as their experiences of bribery and favouritism across the bloc.

Almost a third of people think corruption is getting worse in their country and almost half say their government is doing a bad job at tackling corruption. Business executives and bankers almost tie with national politicians as the most corrupt institutions, and EU residents are concerned about the cosy relationships between business and politics. Almost two thirds of people in the EU think that ordinary people can help stop corruption.
