Thu, Dec 07 2006 14:27 CET 476 Views

For the fourth time Bulgaria was included in Transparency International's Global Corruption Barometer 2006 research.

In 2006, the justice sector got the highest corruption index of 4.4, followed by political parties, Parliament and the healthcare sector.

In 2003 political parties had the highest index, while in 2004 and 2005 the index was highest for customs offices.

The negative evaluation of Bulgarians for the work of these institutions has improved slightly.

Positive tendencies were registered for the work of the police and the Bulgarian business sector.

A day earlier Transparency International Bulgaria presented the organisation's Corruption Perception Index 2006. Bulgaria ranks 57th with an overall index of 4.0.

The index takes into account the opinions of business representatives and analysts. It examines the conditions in 163 countries.

In 2005 Bulgaria ranked 55 out of 159 countries. Corruption levels were lowest in Finland, Iceland and New Zealand, the report said.
