Indonesia\'s score in the 2020 corruption perception index fell by three points from 2019. The decline, the second since 1999, should serve as a warning in efforts to eradicate corruption in the country.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Various regulations regarding the procurement of goods and services and budget management in efforts to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic are believed to have partly contributed to the fall in Indonesia\'s score in the corruption perception index. However, the pandemic cannot be used to fully justify the drop in score.
