Laos and Vietnam ranked 111th in Corruption Perceptions Index !!!
Permalink   




VietNamNet Bridge – In Southeast Asia, Vietnam is ranked at the same level as Laos (2.6 points), above Indonesia (2.4), Cambodia (2.1) and Myanmar (1.9) on the corruption perceptions index (CPI).

During their research process in the world, staffs of the Transparency International (TI) organisation asked businessmen, scholars and government officials to evaluate the social situation in general and the business environment in particular in their countries.

The results of this survey were used to assess the corruption levels of officials in the form of the CPI. However, CPI doesn’t directly asses the corruption situation in the private economic sector.

The CPI is set from zero to ten points. More points mean more ‘clean’. CPI 2006 shows that Finland (9.6 points) is the ‘cleanest’ country worldwide. This country has maintained this position for two consecutive years. Haiti and Iraq have surpassed Bangladesh to stand at the bottom with 1.8 points.

According to CPI 2006 report, over 50% of developing countries have fewer than three points. The 2006 report mentions 163 countries in the world and it was compiled from data of 12 surveys by nine independent institutes in the world.

Vietnam’s CPI in 2006 rose by 0.2 points compared to 2005 but it still ranked 111th of the 163 countries compared to 107th in 2005.

An analyst of Southeast Asia of TI said that Vietnam reaching 2.6 points in 2006 meant that Vietnam was making remarkable improvements in the battle against corruption.

However, some typical anti-corruption cases are not calculated in the CPI, for example the PMU18 and the Do Son land scam, which demonstrate the strong will of the Vietnamese government in fighting against corruption.

The expert of TI also said that the data and surveys that TI performed in Vietnam were based on some international orgnisations like the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and the United Nations Development Programme in Vietnam and some independent research institutions based outside Vietnam so its CPI couldn’t reflect the total picture of corruption in Vietnam and the thinking of the business cycle or the people.

Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
