SUBJECT: The World Bank's updated index for rating corruption and other quality-of-governance indicators.

SIGNIFICANCE: The latest version of the World Bank's indicators of governance provides new data sources and an expanded timeframe. Although the indicators are based on perceptions-based survey data, the methodology allows explicit estimates of margins of error. The results provide a reminder of the distance separating quality of governance in the OECD and the rest of the world.
