Control of Corruption Index
The Control of Corruption index is an aggregation of various indicators that measure the extent to which public power is exercised for private gain, including both petty and grand forms of corruption, as well as "capture" of the state by elites and private interests. Index ranges from -2.5 (for very poor performance) to +2.5 (for excellent performance). This is also an MCC indicator, under the criterion of ruling justly. The MCC rescales the values as percentile rankings relative to the set of MCA eligible countries, ranging from a value from 0 (for very poor performance) to 100 (for excellent performance). Some country reports use the MCC scaling. World Bank Institute, http://www.govindicators.org
