Mongolia ranks 120th out of 183 countries on the latest Transparency International Corruption Index. Last year Mongolia ranked 116th.

The global anti-graft watchdog compiles an annual list of countries based on their ranking on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 10 (very clean). Mongolia’s score was 2.7.

Transparency International says the results of the Corruption Index show that no region or country in the world is immune to the damages of corruption. The vast majority of the 183 countries and territories assessed scored below five. New Zealand, Denmark, and Finland top the list, while North Korea and Somalia are at the bottom.

“This year we have seen corruption on protestors’ banners be they rich or poor,” said Transparency International Chair Huguette Labelle. “Whether in a Europe hit by debt crisis or an Arab world starting a new political era, leaders must heed the demands for better government.”
