ICAC Commissioner affirms the commitment of Hong Kong society for its shining achievement in 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index
2026-2-12
Hong Kong is ranked the 12th least corrupt place among 182 countries/territories in the latest survey by international anti-graft watchdog Transparency International (TI), five places up from previous year’s ranking. The rise not only marked one of the most notable advances since the index was first launched in 1995, but also earned Hong Kong the second least corrupt place in Asia.
ICAC Commissioner Mr Woo Ying-ming welcomed the findings, affirming that Hong Kong’s strong culture of probity was further recognised by the international community. “The encouraging findings by the TI’s survey are the fruitful efforts of our strong rule of law, our effective fight against corruption, staunch support from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to our anti-graft work and the joint commitment of Hong Kong citizens to safeguard the core value of integrity and clean society,” Mr Woo noted.
Mr Woo also added that over the past year, the Commission spared no effort in law enforcement, corruption prevention, public education and international cooperation, which made Hong Kong the world-acclaimed exemplar in the graft-fighting arena. The Commission would continue to discharge its duties effectively, independently and impartially, standing together with the community to preserve the city’s hard-earned reputation.
Hong Kong has consistently remained in the band of the top 20 and one of the top performers in the Asia-Pacific region in the TI’s Corruption Perceptions Index since its launch in 1995.
