Corruption in Vietnam is an issue in the country. The Business Anti-Corruption Portal, a government-sponsored resource supported by the EU, reported that as of June 2014, there is weak legal infrastructure and conflicting, negative bureaucratic decision-making. According to the report, surveys reveal while petty corruption has decreased slightly throughout the country, high-level corruption has significantly increased.[1]

The party claims that corruption has moved up the political agenda in the country, and the legal framework for tackling corruption has become "better developed". [1]

As of 2018, Vietnam also scores one of the highest rates in terms of bribery practices – that year, it is reported that the rate citizens have paid a bribe to key public institutions over the past 12 months, at 65%, is second only to India with 69%.[2]

Ranking

Transparency International's 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index, which scored 180 countries on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean"), gave Vietnam a score of 42. When ranked by score, Vietnam ranked 77th among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector.[3] For comparison with worldwide scores, the best score was 90 (ranked 1), the worst score was 12 (ranked 180), and the average score was 43.[4] For comparison with regional scores, the highest score among Asia Pacific countries [Note 1] was 87, the lowest score was 17 and the average score was 45.[5]
