Perception of corruption and economic growth in Madagascar

Corruption is a global calamity that strikes all countries, whether developed or not. Without effective and appropriate measures, it can significantly jeopardize a country's efforts to promote good governance and reduce poverty. Madagascar is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Its CPI score in 2017 was 24/100, placing it 155th out of 180 countries, according to Transparency International. Widespread corruption in Madagascar seems to penalize its economy, affecting the promotion of economic growth. Exploring this relationship is the very purpose of this book.
