Indonesians are becoming more tolerant of corruption, as shown by its anti-graft index slipping to the lowest level since 2021.
The index measuring the public’s permissiveness toward corrupt practices fell to the lowest in three years at 3.85, well below the government’s target of 4.1, according to data from the central statistics agency on Monday. A score of 0 would indicate high tolerance for graft while 5 would indicate strong rejection of it.
