It has been working on two fronts: helping interested citizens set up national chapters of Transparency International - there are now more than 40 - and compiling an annual international corruption index.

In November 2006 Transparency International updated its annual corruption index.

Is there a corruption index for corruption indexes?

Guyana ranks 126 out of 180 in Transparency International's corruption index.

Fifty-four countries involved in international business are ranked by Transparency International in its second annual corruption index.

Corruption remains one of the key factors reflecting poverty levels throughout the world and these states generally fare worse in the corruption indexes usually published.

Every year, Transparency International ranks 180 countries to create its corruption index.

While "corruption" indices first appeared in 1995 with the Corruption Perceptions Index CPI, all of these metrics address different proxies for corruption, such as public perceptions of the extent of the problem.

Transparency International's annual corruption index recorded that the public perceived the country as relatively free of corruption.
