Corruption is a problem in Albania.[1][2] Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index scores 180 countries according to the perceived corruption of the public sector and then ranks those countries by their score, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector. In 2024, Albania was ranked 80th among 180 countries in the Index, an improvement from its 98th place in the previous year.[3] Albania scored 42 points on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean").[4] For comparison with worldwide scores, the average score was 43, the best score was 90 (ranked 1), and the worst score was 8 (ranked 180).[5] For comparison with regional scores, the average score for Eastern Europe and Central Asia was 35.[6]
In recent years, Albania has made progress in its fight against corruption through the work of the Special Structure against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK). According to Transparency International’s 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index, SPAK has gained public trust by prosecuting high-level officials, including former ministers, members of Parliament, and mayors. Notably, investigations have also been launched against a former president and prime minister.[6]
