Corruption in Bulgaria is at its highest level in two decades. This is what the Center for the Study of Democracy and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation claim in a study.
The study highlights that in 2023, administrative corruption once again peaked, with 35% of the public reporting having been asked for a bribe and 30% having been involved in corruption transactions at least on some occasions in the preceding year – figures matched only by the corruption rates in 1999 and 2014.
The CSD's latest analysis, entitled “The State of Capture in Bulgaria: Тhe Elusive Quest for Anti-Corruption Results” provides a comparative perspective on corruption levels in Bulgaria over the past 25 years, with a focus on growing global and national strategic corruption and dysfunctional regulatory and specialised anti-corruption institutions.
