Corruption in Singapore

Corruption in Singapore is generally perceived as low. Cases are mostly handled by the Singapore Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), a government agency in Singapore that investigates and prosecutes corruption in the public and private sectors.

Overview

According to Transparency International, Singapore had a corruption score of 85 out of 100 (high scores are less corrupt); this makes Singapore the "cleanest" country in Southeast Asia and 8th of the 168 countries assessed worldwide. The highest corruption risk area are identified by Government Defence Anti-Corruption Index as Operations followed by Finance.

Business executives surveyed in the World Economic Forum's 2014–2015 Global Competitiveness Report reported no problems doing business in Singapore.
