Globally, Denmark has reclaimed its ranking as the least corrupt country in the world in the international survey. Transparency International's CPI for 2019 gave Denmark a score of 87 points out of 100, and it shares the first spot with New Zealand out of 180 countries.
New Zealand and Denmark have a longstanding reputation as countries with little corruption in the public and private sector. The countries which scored the lowest were Somalia and South Sudan. Somalia ranked 180 with a score of nine on the 2019 CPI. South Sudan ranked 179 with a score of 12 points.
There is a high likelihood that the CPI 2020 rank for Malaysia will drop, but with no statistically significant changes in their score. This is due to political instability, a weak economy and lack of good governance.
