Ukraine scored 35 points out of 100 in the 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). Ukraine ranks 1 05th out of 180 countries. Compared to 2023, Ukraine lost 1 point. However, despite the full-scale war, Ukraine has taken important steps to address corruption issues over the past two years, and this is reflected in the CPI's findings. Most of these initiatives were driven by commitments made as part of European integration and to obtain international financial support. However, some negative events and decisions have also occurred during this period, which have reduced the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures.

2025 Global Country Reputation Ranking
According to the annual RepCore Nations 2025 study conducted by the consulting company Reputation Lab, Canada and Switzerland became the leaders of global reputation. They share first place in the ranking, which assesses the reputation of the world’s 60 largest economies through the eyes of citizens of the G7 countries — the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Canada.
Ukraine entered the top 30 world economies in terms of reputation, ranking 26th among the 60 largest economies.
Ukraine’s global reputation is assessed as moderate (average), with a RepScore of 51.6.The country evokes admiration, respect, and trust — a positive emotional halo that represents a reserve of goodwill which can be converted into investment, international business contracts, and tourism flows. However, a substantial share of the international perception of Ukraine is driven by emotional assessments. As a result, the country’s reputation remains sensitive to information shifts: both positive and negative developments can rapidly influence its overall global image.
The study revealed significant differences across regions:
NATO member states and partner countries (the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Turkey) rate Ukraine’s reputation more highly.
In the countries of the Global South, the level of trust in Ukraine is lower. As expected, Ukraine’s reputation received poor assessments in China and russia.
Despite the positive dynamics, several weaknesses remain: security and the business environment remain Ukraine’s main vulnerabilities; quality of life and the level of development are assessed as below average; the absence of well‑known companies and brands is a reputational disadvantage for the country.
