The results from Transparency International are in and the Bahamas Scored 71 with 0 representing the most corrupt countries and 100 being the least. This gave us a ranking of 24 out of 175 countries.

The only countries in this hemisphere ahead of us are #10 Canada (81); #17 USA / Barbados (71); and #21 Uruguay/ Chili (73).

Another interesting comparison is the fact that only 6 members of the G20 - the 20 largest advanced and emerging economies in the world- (#11 Australia; #10 Canada; #12 Germany; #15 Japan; #14 United Kindgom and #17 United States) enjoy rankings higher than ours.

Its a shame our media outlets only wishe to publicize and promote negative reports on The Bahamas.
