Morocco jumped nine spots in its world’s ranking under the Corruption Perceptions Index 2017, compared to a year earlier, said on Wednesday Transparency Maroc.
Out of 180 countries, Morocco ranks as 81st with 40 points, instead of 90th (37 points) in 2016, said the association in a press conference to present the yearly report on corruption in Morocco.
The scourge of corruption is still a big problem, Transparency Maroc’s Secretary General Ahmed El Bernoussi told the press, noting that since the government’s announcement of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy late 2015, “no measure was made to implement its provisions so far”.
