TI: The Czech Republic improves scores in CPI for 2017, but the European average is still far ahead, the country faces risks

The International Secretariat of Transparency International (TI) released the Corruption Perceptions Index for 2017 (CPI). The Czech Republic gained a total of 57 points out of 100 and climbed from the 47th place in 2016 to the 42nd place in 2017, a shared position with Spain, Cyprus and Dominica. The average of the European Union (65 points) is still far ahead. The result, rather than showing the onset of a positive trend, reflects the frozen level of corruption perceptions. For real improvement, a few unpopular but simple steps have to be taken, TI says.
