Abstract

The main focus of this work is to explore the relationship between corruption and economic development in the countries that make up the BRICS group, using exploratory analysis of secondary data. For this purpose, we sought to verify the correlation between the GDP, the HDI and the level of corruption; the latter obtained from two indexes: the Worldwide Governance Index and the Corruption Perceptions Index, built by Transparency International. In this way, a comparative analysis was carried out that followed the evolution of the mentioned indexes of corruption, GDP and HDI of each country object of this study. In addition, fundamental factors for good governance were found; still assured by IT studies and research, possibilities of correlation between types of government regimes and the level of corruption were identified. Finally, the results were analyzed, followed by a brief discussion about the theme of this work, concluding that the evidences suggests that there is interference of the level of corruption in the indices of human development and economic growth in BRICS countries.
