Belarus is ranked 124th out of 180 countries in the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index.

Omissions

• The MEP cites the rank of 124, which is correct for the most recent CPI edition (2025, published in early 2026), but states the total number of countries as 180, which corresponds to the 2024 edition. The 2025 CPI covers 182 countries, not 180.
• The MEP does not specify which year's CPI is being referenced. Given the session date of June 2026, the most recent available CPI would be the 2025 edition (182 countries), where Belarus indeed ranks 124th. However, if the MEP intended to refer to the 2024 CPI (180 countries), Belarus's rank was 107th, not 124th.
• Belarus's score has declined consistently: from 47 in 2020 to 31 in 2025, reflecting a significant worsening of perceived corruption levels.
