FICAC notes Fiji’s Corruption Perceptions Index score and reiterates prevention focus

Posted by Media Team 11 February 2026

The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (the “Commission”) notes the release of Transparency International’s 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), in which Fiji recorded a score of 55, unchanged from previous years.

The CPI is a perceptions-based index compiled from multiple independent data sources and reflects views on public-sector corruption risk. It does not constitute a finding of corruption, nor does it measure the outcome or effectiveness of any specific investigation or enforcement action.

The Commission regards the CPI as a broad indicator that reinforces the ongoing importance of strong integrity systems, effective prevention measures, and public confidence in accountability frameworks.

During the current quarter, the Commission has continued to strengthen corruption prevention efforts through, among other initiatives:

a. Targeted integrity and governance engagement with public sector agencies, focusing on practical risk areas such as conflicts of interest, procurement integrity, and decision-making safeguards; and

b. Public awareness and outreach activities aimed at improving understanding of corruption risks, reporting obligations, and the role of institutional accountability in protecting public resources.

These measures form part of the Commission’s statutory mandate to prevent, deter, and address corruption through a combination of enforcement, education, and system-strengthening.

The Commission encourages members of the public to report suspected corruption or misconduct through its authorised reporting channels.
