Corruption in the Maldives remains a persistent problem. The country was ranked in the 84th position on Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index in 2022. Key issues include high-level corruption and weak enforcement of anti-corruption measures. Incidences of corruption hinder political, social, and economic development and expose Maldives to peace, safety, and security risks.
