Corruption in the Czech Republic

Corruption in the Czech Republic is considered to be widespread by a majority of the Czech public, according to Transparency International’s Global Corruption Barometer 2013.

Corruption scandals and lax oversight drag Czechia down in global ranking in 2025. “The government of Prime Minister Petr Fiala cannot claim any significant success in fighting corruption. The passage of anti-corruption laws is frequently delayed or obstructed by members of the governing coalition,” said Ondřej Kopečný, head of TI Czechia.

Transparency International's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index scored the Czech Republic at 56 on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean"). When ranked by score, the Czech Republic ranked 46th among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector. For comparison with regional scores, the highest score among Western European and European Union countries was 90, the average score was 64 and the lowest score was 41. For comparison with worldwide scores, the best score was 90 (ranked 1), the average score was 43, and the worst score was 8 (ranked 180).
