Summary/Abstract: Following the increased public awareness of the seriousness of corruption and the signals from the international community, Romanian society has done some progress in this direction but the Corruption Perception Index situates the country on an inferior position among UE countries. This paper analyses the phenomenon in peculiar circumstances, related with the GDP and poverty level. We verified the relationship between GDP and CPI in Romania - a country with an important level of poverty in general and on the labor market in particular. A high rate of economic growth, associated with a high degree of employment intensity, is a necessary condition in the reduction of poverty and implicitly, of corruption.Peculiar Aspects of Development and Corruption Perception Index in Romania.
