What is the TI Global Corruption Barometer?
The TI Global Corruption Barometer 2007 (or the Barometer) is the fifth edition of a public opinion survey that assesses the general public’s perceptions and experience of corruption. This year’s Barometer polls more than 63,199 people in 60 countries. The Barometer 2007 asks people about their opinions regarding which public sectors are the most corrupt, and their opinion on how future levels of corruption will evolve in the near future, as well as how their government is doing in the fight against corruption. The Barometer also explores people’s experiences with bribery, presenting information on how frequently citizens are asked to pay bribes when they come in contact with different public service providers.
