This is backed up by the Transparency
International for the Corruption Perceptions Index covering 180 countries
worldwide, including Jordan. Jordan's rank between 2016-2022 ranged from 57 to
61, placing it among the top 60 countries in the fight against corruption, and
it ranks 119th globally on the index.
In the last year, 2022, Jordan ranked
fourth in the Arab world and 61st globally on the most important global index.
In 2021, Jordan ranked 58th in the fight against corruption, and in 2020 and
2019, it held the 60th position. In 2018, it ranked 58th, in 2017, it was 59th,
and in 2016, it finished at 57th place.
From these results, Petra found that Jordan
has maintained a high pace in developing measures to combat corruption,
reflected in its global ranking in the fight against corruption. The ebb and
flow in Jordan's rank on the corruption index were influenced by the continuous
effort to confront corrupt individuals.
