Corruption Perception Indices in the Eurozone

I was wondering about correlations between the country scores in the Corruption Perception Index compiled by Transparency International (http://cpi.transparency.org/cpi2011/results/#CountryResults) and national budget deficits. Here are the Corruption Perception numbers for members of the Eurozone, with 1.0 indicating very high corruption and 10.0 indicating zero corruption:


Austria 7.8
Belgium 7.5
Cyprus 6.3
Estonia 6.4
Finland 9.4
France 7.0
Germany 8.0
Greece 3.4
Ireland 7.5
Italy 3.9
Luxembourg 8.5
Malta 5.6
Netherlands 8.9
Portugal 6.1
Slovakia 4.0
Slovenia 5.9
Spain 6.2

Three Nordic countries not in the Eurozone have very high scores:

Denmark 9.4
Sweden 9.3
Norway 9.0

For comparison, the United States scores a 7.1 on this scale, just slightly ahead of France, but well behind Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands.

Greece has the lowest score among all Eurozone countries. The only other countries that are close are Italy and Slovakia.
