Berlin, 31 January 2022 - The 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) released today by Transparency International reveals that corruption remains rampant in Eastern Europe and Central Asia as many countries reach historic lows.

Armenia’s 2022 score has significantly decreased compared to the previous year and is equal to 46. It is 3 points less than the score of the previous two years (49 points) on a scale from 0 (absolutely corrupt) to 100 (absolutely clean). The standard error of measurement of Armenia's 2022 CPI is equal to 2.47 (in 2021 it was equal to 3.76). As it is mentioned in the Transparency International’s 2022 Eastern Europe and Central Asia regional analysis: "After years of improvement, this CPI brings worrying signs as Armenia drops three points. While not yet statistically significant, this downturn reflects the breakdown in maintaining checks and balances, ensuring integrity in law enforcement, securing judicial independence and protecting civic space."
