The State of Anti-Corruption in Brazil: A View from the CCC Index

Long seen as one of the most promising stories in the fight against corruption in Latin America, Brazil is going through a critical moment. The 2020 Capacity to Combat Corruption (CCC) Index, co-developed by AS/COA and Control Risks, shows that Brazil continues to demonstrate relatively solid anti-corruption credentials compared to others in the region. However, the country has experienced serious setbacks in the past year – from new questions regarding enforcement agencies’ independence under the Jair Bolsonaro administration to controversial judicial decisions – leading to a 10% drop in its overall score since 2019. Is Brazil facing a temporary turbulence or a longer-term downward trajectory? How can these changes shape Brazil’s business and political environment?
