Lithuania has achieved a score of 65 out of a possible 100 in the global corruption index, reflecting a significant improvement as it rises to the 28th position among countries worldwide and 12th within the European Union. This score indicates that Lithuania has maintained a stable position in terms of corruption control, which is seen as positive news by the authorities. However, organizations like Transparency International urge that mere strategies on paper are insufficient for real progress; tangible actions are necessary to enhance the country's resilience against corruption.

The report highlights that Denmark continues to hold the top spot globally with a score of 89, followed by Finland, Singapore, New Zealand, and Norway, all of which have high scores. The average score among EU countries sits at 62, indicating a wide range of performance among member states. The comparison with neighboring countries, such as Estonia and Latvia, provides insight into the regional landscape of corruption control, which varies significantly between them.

As Lithuania aims to meet its goals related to corruption, the call to adopt practical measures is critical. Ensuring accountability, enforcing rules genuinely, and demonstrating measurable outcomes when making political decisions and managing public finances will be essential. The ongoing dialogue about corruption and the need for its reduction may further influence policy-making and the public's trust in government institutions.
