Following the leaks of Panama Papers, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Iceland’s Prime Minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson had to resign.

‘People’s and Politics’, a research firm of global politics, has conducted the research to find out the honest leaders of the world. The honesty of the leaders has been measured based on five criteria. The first criterion was to find out if the head of the state/government has any foreign bank account. The second criterion was about examining the level of increase of the personal assets after coming into power. Finding out the information about the accumulation of hidden assets was the third criterion. The fourth one dealt with the specific corruption charges against the head of the state/government. And the final criterion was about the thought of the people of the leader’s country.

Based upon the aforementioned criteria, People’s and Politics has analyzed the activities of the head of the state/government of 173 countries. Only 17 leaders have passed as they were found to be 50 percent honest in terms of their activities. German Chacellor Angela Merkel topped the list of the honest leaders of 173 countries. She has got 90 out of 100 based upon above mentioned five criteria. The Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong, stood second with 88. And Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina secured the 3rd position in the list with 87 score. Securing 85 Norway’s Prime Minister Erna Solberg stood 4th in the list and Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani, who has got 81, stands in the fifth place of the list.
