The findings, released Dec. 6, were presented in the 2007 Global Corruption Barometer (GCB), a compilation of public opinion surveys conducted in 60 countries by Gallup International on behalf of the international watchdog Transparency International (TI).

The number of Ukrainian bribe-givers grew by 7 percent year-on-year to double the average rate of corruption reported by 63,000 survey respondents around the world.

Ukraine fared better than countries like Cambodia and Romania, but scored on par with countries like Bolivia, Indonesia and Serbia.
