In the second year of Javier Milei's presidency, Argentina's score in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), compiled by Transparency International, decreased by one point, placing the country at 36 out of 100. This decline indicates a growing perception of corruption within the country and represents a fall of five places in the global ranking, landing Argentina at the 104th position, alongside nations such as Belize and Ukraine.

Analysts attribute this downward trend to ongoing corruption suspicions surrounding the $LIBRA and Andis cases, which have further eroded public trust in government institutions. Experts emphasize that the situation demonstrates a troubling increase in perceived corruption, as the decline in Argentina's CPI score has made it clear that international observers view the country with increasing skepticism. The shift in rank also signifies broader implications for Argentina's reputation on a global scale.

The latest ranking continues to reveal stark contrasts, especially when compared to other nations like Zambia, Lesotho, Gambia, and the Dominican Republic, which have comparatively better scores. The persistence of corruption in Argentina could hinder its economic prospects and foreign investment, as transparency is often a key concern for potential investors and international partners.
