The Country CPI Score column presents the score the specific country has received in Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI). This score is widely used in the financial industry and in other sectors, as it is highly reputable and factors in a large number of parameters. The score is automatically pulled into the Platform via API and is also of course automatically updated as and when there is a change in the index for any jurisdiction.
The Corruption Perception Index is built in such a way, that the lower the score, the more corrupt the country; and the higher it is, the less corrupt it is. Meaning, “higher is better”.
The mRX™ module’s default configuration is opposite; meaning, “lower is better” (for various reasons, including market standards). For that reason, the second column, the “Country mRX™ Score” column, which represents the default score assigned to the country in the mRX™ module, is calculated according to the following:
100 – CPI = Country mRX™ Score
