Summary/Abstract: In recent years, inflation has been one of the most fundamental problems, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries. Generally speaking, inflation indicates a continuous increase in the general price level. Inflation refers to the gradual decline in the purchasing power and income of individuals in society. Corruption, on the other hand, refers to the abuse of power for personal gain. This study aims to analyze the relationship between corruption and inflation. In this context, we examine the impact of inflation on corruption using panel data analysis using data from the E7 and G7 countries for the period 2012–2024. The findings reveal that inflation has a statistically significant impact on corruption in both country groups, but the direction and magnitude of the effect differ across country groups. Furthermore, we conclude that macroeconomic variables such as economic freedom, trade openness, and foreign direct investment also have significant impacts on corruption.
