One exception to the overall trend is Mauritius (18th), which continued on the path of reform noted in last year's Index and snagged a spot in the top 20. Botswana is next, followed by Uganda.

It faces myriad problems, including pandemic corruption and a 766 percent inflation rate (a three-year weighted average).
