The latest Transparency International report ranks Denmark as the least corrupt nation, scoring 90 for the third straight year. While Denmark's overall perception remains high, there are notable declines in areas like public funding and accountability. Jesper Olsen, chairman of Transparency's Danish branch, emphasizes that, despite its top ranking, Denmark must address systemic issues highlighted in government reports. Comparatively, Norway and Sweden's lower scores may reflect their openness to discussing corruption-related structural problems, leading to increased transparency about their governance challenges.
