Transparency International’s “Corruption Perceptions Index” for 2014 ranks Switzerland fifth along with Norway based on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be, up from seventh a year ago.
The list of 175 countries is topped by Denmark, followed by New Zealand, Finland and Sweden.
The index, based on expert opinion from around the world, lists the United States in 17th place, tied with Barbados, Hong Kong and Ireland, and just ahead of Chile.
