T&T remains consistent in corruption index

Trinidad and Tobago recorded no improvement on the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, maintaining a score of 41 out of 100, according to the Trinidad and Tobago Transparency Institute (TTTI). The unchanged score places the country in the mid-range globally and just below the Americas’ regional average of 42. TTTI said the stagnant result reflects entrenched governance challenges and gaps between policy commitments and real enforcement. According to TTTI, persistent issues include weaknesses in public financial management, delayed implementation of the Whistleblower Protection Act, and the absence of meaningful campaign finance reform. TTTI warned that without decisive action, public trust and institutional credibility will continue to erode.
