Political Stability

&

Political Stability: Predictable political environment – attracts investments, internally and from outside – resulting in poverty reduction, job creation, increased state revenues, investments in welfare and education bringing benefits to all in society

Corruption Perceptions Index: Scores 177 countries from a scale of 1 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). Serves as a reminder that the abuse of power, secret dealings and bribery continue to ravage societies in the world. Two thirds of the world score below 50.
