This score has moved up significantly to 32 this year. Given that this score reflects an annual opinion survey, movement in the score seems plausible and may well reflect some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mongolia\/2013\/corruption-in-2013\/\">perceptions of corruption that I discussed previously<\/a>. Likewise the Bertelsmann Transformation Index has moved up significantly to 40. These two increases are somewhat balanced by the drop in the score from the World Justice Project. Though even if the WJP score had remained the same, the overall score would not have changed, so the 2-point increase for the score is driven by the rise in the BTI and WEF scores.<\/p>\n<h3>Countries with an Identical Score to Mongolia<\/h3>\n<p>Burkina Faso, El Salvador, Jamaica, Liberia, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Zambia<\/p>\n<h3>Scores for Select Post-State Socialist Countries<\/h3>\n<p>Estonia (68), Poland (60), Armenia (36), Vietnam (31), Russia (28), Tajikistan (22), Uzbekistan (17)<\/p>\n<h3>Select Scores in Mongolia&#8217;s Neighbourhood<\/h3>\n<p>Singapore (86), Japan (74), Taiwan (61), S Korea (55), China (40), Indonesia (32), Kazakhstan (26),\u00a0Kyrgyzstan (24), Myanmar (21)<\/p>\n<p>The average score for the Asia Pacific region (TI includes Mongolia in this region, though I have simply picked countries in some geographic proximity to Mongolia for the listing above) is 43.
