Transparency International has pointed to misappropriation of resources, illicit enrichment and environmental crime as causes for concern in Guyana.
According to the latest Corruption Perceptions Index report, although the country has created anti-corruption institutions and laws, transparency and law enforcement are very low, and attacks on dissenting voices, activists and journalists are increasingly common.
In the fourth full year of the current government, the perception of corruption in Guyana has risen as the country dropped by one point in the score on the CPI.
This year Guyana's score is 39 and it ranks 92 out of 180 countries compared with 87 last year and 85 in 2023.
In 2021 the country went down by two points from the previous year, with a score of 39 and ranking of 87 out of 180 countries.
