Singapore grabs crown as least corrupt country in Asia

See which Asian peers came behind.

According to Transparency International's 2012 Corruption Perceptions Index, Singapore is ranked as 5th least corrupt country in the world with Denmark, Finland, New Zeland, and Sweden as the top 4.

The Lion City garnered a score of 87 in the index, making the least corrupt among Asian countries, as Hong Kong and Japan came in at the 14th and 17th spots.

The Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries and territories based on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be.

A country or territory’s score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 - 100, where 0 means that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and 100 means it is perceived as very clean.

A country's rank indicates its position relative to the other countries and territories included in the index. This year's index includes 176 countries and territories.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
