Bangladesh is the 14th most corrupt country in the world, said Corruption Perceptions Index 2014 of Transparency International on Wednesday.
Last year, the country was 16th in the table, which means the situation has worsened.
In the index, Somalia is the most corrupted country while Denmark is the lowest in corruption ranking.
Most of the countries ranked lower than Bangladesh are going through either civil war or suffer from International sanctions.
Government control over law and order is believed to be the primary reason for such downfall.
The Berlin-based group's table is the most widely used gauge of corruption by governments, police, court systems, political parties and bureaucracies, a scourge it says undermines development and deepens poverty.
