Corruption in Norway
Corruption in Norway is extremely low and ranks amongst the lowest in the world. The 2018 Corruption Perceptions Index from Transparency International ranked Norway as the 7th least corrupt country in the world in its evaluation of corruption in 180 countries.

In 2017 Norway was ranked the most corrupt country in Scandinavia after Yara International, Telenor, Statoil, Norsk Hydro and Kongsberg, all large Norwegian companies in which the state government owns substantial stakes, faced corruption charges.

According to a report by the Norwegian School of Economics, "corruption in Norway is typically present at the municipal administration, municipal planning and building departments, and procurement departments". The report also stated that "research shows that in some municipalities, ties between public and private parties can sometimes be too close. Some municipalities are very active in their anticorruption work, and they have good notification channels and active control committees. In other places there is a significant number of leaders in the municipal sector who have experienced attempts of corruption – and those trying to report the matter meet resistance."
