>Israel does rank very favorably on this list - I wonder why the perception of corruption, among businesses, is so much higher the measure posited by risk-indexes.com?
A few factors:
- In Israel corruption is very aggressively prosecuted and will be featured on national news (the only kind of news. no local news there) repeatedly. It creates impression that corruption is everywhere
- Orthodox sector due to it's influence gets non-proportional amounts of money from budgets
- Everybody afraid to be a freier (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-jul-25-mn-16208-story.html https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-jul-25-mn-16208...), so in case somebody else succeeds, some may assume that it's because of corruption, etc
- Having personal relations with somebody or been friend of a friend helps (to speed up a bit small things. no monetary exchange, just a favor)
PS. Couldn't find raw data from Israel for index
- PEJOE 6y agotguvot, Some very interesting anecdote points - I'll say my personal references are an old boss, who is close to Israeli politics in the US, and Israeli emmigrants. (Main complaint was they liked forests and green more than the desert.) I appreciate your context; and I did request the dataset from the risk-index organization, and will update here if I receive it.
