Trust levels are on the rise.... even in politicians

Trust in the key institutions such as government, media, business, and NGOs is on the rise — as the country prepares to go to the polls at the end of the month.

NGOs remain the most trusted institution, seeing the sharpest increase of all sectors — from 37% to 49% — while the system of government remains the least trusted at 32%.
