The Bribe Payer's Index (BPI) measures the tendency of firms from top exporting countries to pay bribes or make undocumented payments while conducting business abroad.
The results draw from the responses of more than 11,000 business people in 125 countries polled in the World Economic Forum’s Executive Opinion Survey 2006 & 2008. A score of 10 indicates a perception of no corruption, while zero means corruption is seen as rampant. Leading the ranking is Belgium and Canada, but even its score of 8.8 is far from perfect. The message: there may be variations here but there are no real winners.
