most corrupt countries, while Iceland finished top. Finland and New Zealand
were the second and third cleanest nations. Corruption is declining in Turkey
and Nigeria, but increasing in Russia and Canada.

TI chairman Peter Eigen said: “Corruption is a major cause of poverty as
well as a barrier to [reducing] it.” He also said corruption and poverty lock
people in a “cycle of misery”. Mr. Eigen warned corruption must be reduced to
free people from poverty. David Nussbaum, TI’s chief executive, stated:
“Corruption isn’t a natural disaster: it is the cold…theft of opportunity from
the men, women and children who are least able to protect themselves.” He also
said leaders needed to keep their promises to help poor people. The world has
