The Global Corruption Barometer is the only world wide public opinion survey about the views and experiences of corruption.
The Global Corruption Barometer asks for people's views on corruption in their country generally, how the level of corruption has changed and in which institutions the problem of corruption is most severe. It also provides a measure of people's experience of bribery in the past year across six different services. The survey asks people how well or badly they think their government has done at stopping corruption.
For the 2015-2017 version all the values have been assigned the year 2016.
Note: Only valid answers are used when calculating the averages, "Unknown'', ``Don't know'' etc. are excluded.
For the 2003-2013 version, the data for a country is marked as missing if there are less than 100 respondents per year, if there are 100 or more, the value corresponds to the mean of all answers.
