Corruption in Chile

In Transparency International's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index Chile was ranked number 32 among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked number 1 is perceived to have the most honest public sector.[1] It was ranked 6th among the countries of the Americas, behind Uruguay, Canada, Barbados, the Bahamas and the United States.[2]

In that index, Chile was given a score of 63 on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean").[3] For comparison with regional scores, the highest score among the countries of the Americas[Note 1] was 76, the average score was 42 and the lowest score was 10.[2] For comparison with worldwide scores, the best score was 90 (ranked 1), the average score was 43, and the worst score was 8 (ranked 180).[1]

According to a 2021 study the regions of Ñuble, Los Lagos and Aysén are the most susceptible to suffer nepotism and elite capture.[4]
