Analysts emphasize that the unchanged list of corrupt areas for four years in a row demonstrates the public's demand for active anti-corruption actions in these sectors.

18.3% of citizens had corruption experience in 2024, which is slightly less than in 2023 (20.8%). The share of entrepreneurs involved in corrupt relations on demand remained almost unchanged — 11.6%.

Initiative corruption among the population is also decreasing: in 2024, 9.2% of citizens (in 2023 — 12.1%) and 4% of business representatives (in 2023 — 3.9%) were the initiators of such relations.

Reduction of corruption in education and stabilization in other sectors

Corruption in the educational sphere shows positive trends:

  • In communal kindergartens, the level of corruption decreased by 11.9% to 15.1%.
  • In primary and secondary education, the indicator fell by 9.6% and is 12%.

The minimum level of corruption was recorded in the Central Administrative Court, where only 3.8% of respondents indicated corruption experience. At the same time, the largest population encountered corruption in medical institutions — 51.5%.

The share of citizens who independently recognized their corruption experience stabilized at 18.7%. In the business environment, this indicator remained unchanged compared to 2023 and is 23.2%.

The willingness of citizens to report facts of corruption increased to 12.3%, which is 2.1% more than in 2023. However, in the business environment, the trend is reversed, with willingness to report falling to 21.3%, returning to 2021 levels.
