The advanced economies of Northern and Western Europe, North America, and Asia and the Pacific tend to top the rankings over the long term. This means that these countries are perceived as having a low level of corruption in the public sector. These nations also generally have well-functioning judicial systems, a strong rule of law, and political stability – all factors that contribute to perceptions of clean governance. However, while these top-ranked countries have strong domestic institutions, their commitment to fighting corruption appears to be weak when it comes to their own financial systems and regulations affecting the international environment.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-01-30 |title=CPI 2023: Trouble at the top - News |url=https://www.transparency.org/en/news/cpi-2023-trouble-at-the-top |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=Transparency.org |language=en}}</ref> The CPI doesn't capture transnational corruption, so corrupt foreign business practices by companies from these countries don't affect their CPI scores. The example of the Netherlands highlights this issue. Despite a high CPI score, the Netherlands has a poor record of prosecuting companies that bribe foreign officials to win contracts, as seen in the Nigerian oil bribery case.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-05-22 |title=Nigeria oil bribery case: Netherlands and US must reopen… |url=https://www.transparency.org/en/press/nigeria-oil-bribery-netherlands-us-reopen-investigations-eni-shells-opl245 |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=Transparency.org |language=en}}</ref>
The report ''Exporting Corruption 2022'',<ref>Dell, G., & McDevitt, A. (2022). Exporting Corruption 2022: Assessing Enforcement of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. In ''www.transparency.org'' (No. 978-3-96076-228–7). Transparency International.</ref> which assesses foreign bribery enforcement in 43 of the 44 signatories to the [[OECD Anti-Bribery Convention]], as well as China, ZAO Hong Kong, India and Singapore, reinforces this concern. It found a significant decline in foreign bribery enforcement, only two out of 47 countries are now in active enforcement category. Other key findings were that no country is exempt from bribery by its nationals and related money laundering. Moreover, according to the report, weaknesses remain in legal frameworks and enforcement systems are not adequately disclosed by most countries information on enforcement, victim compensation is rare and international cooperation is increasing still faces significant obstacles. This calls for a more comprehensive approach to tackling corruption, addressing both domestic and international aspects.
