How to read the chart
The rank relates solely to the results drawn from a number of surveys and reflects only the perceptions of business people who participated in these surveys.
The column, 1998 CPI Score relates to the perceptions of the degree of which corruption is seen by business people – a perfect 10.0 would be a totally corruption-free country.
Standard Deviation indicates the differences in the values of the sources for the 1998 index: the greater the variance, the greater the differences of perceptions of a country among sources.
The number of surveys used had to be at least 3 for a country to be included in the CPI.
