An international watchdog group says Somalia is perceived as the world's most corrupt country followed closely by Myanmar, Iraq, Haiti and Afghanistan.

Transparency International's annual Corruption Perceptions Index shows Denmark, Sweden and New Zealand sharing the honor of being the world's least corrupt countries.

The annual index released Tuesday measures perceived levels of public sector corruption in 180 countries and draws on surveys of businesses and experts.
