Israel ranks 28th in the Global Corruption Index

Israel was ranked number 28 in the Global Corruption Index for 2016 published by Transparency International Organization on Wednesday.

In 2015, Israel was ranked number 32.

Denmark is in the first place with New Zealand and Finland following closely behind.

The writers of the report, which surveyed 176 countries, state that most countries ranked lower compared to last year and that is a worrisome sign.
