The Dominican Republic continues to show poor indexes for governance according to World Bank numbers for 2006. The indicators are included in the report, "A Decade of Measuring the Quality of Governance" (1996-2006) published by the World Bank. The Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) project defines governance as the set of traditions and institutions by which authority in a country is exercised. The WGI project reports aggregate and individual governance indicators for 212 countries and territories over the period 1996-2006 for six dimensions of governance: voice and accountability; political stability and absence of violence, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law and control of corruption. The indicator control of corruption shows a notable decline over the 10 year period.
A country data report (1996-2006) is provided for the DR at http://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi2007/pdf/c64.pdf
