When comparing current research with that carried out four years ago, it is clear that there has been a drop in people’s personal experiences of corruption in Poland, which goes hand in hand with a much lower perception of corruption as a social problem than in 2013.

Currently one in sixteen people (6% - a drop of 3 percentage points since 2013) admits to having given a bribe at least once over the last 3-4 years, while one in ten (10% - a drop of 6 percentage points) says they know somebody who takes bribes. These percentages are about a third of what they were in the 1990s.

More on this subject in the forthcoming CBOS report.
