Bkay thanks for your reply. I also found this index, but they don't seem to have data for several periods like a time-series...

The data is annual. Are they missing data for for Venezuela in particular in some years?

That first link, https://www.transparency.org/research/cpi/, has all the years on the left hand side. You'll have to manually gather the Venezuela data from each year.

This is a really old post but I think TI warns against CPI as a time series, at least before 2011 I think. The 2011 and 2012 documentations discuss this I believe.
