At 39%, India emerges as a country that bribes the most in Asia

India was followed by Cambodia, which had the second highest bribery rate at 37 percent, followed by Indonesia at 30 percent. The lowest bribery rates in Asia were found to be in Japan (2 percent), South Korea (10 percent) and Nepal (12 percent). However, the survey report pointed out that even in these countries, more could be done to stop corruption.

In January 2020, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, India had ranked 80th out of 180 countries in the World Corruption Perception Index.
