Press release: the Center calls for budget execution data to be made available to researchers

The Center called for the quarterly budget execution tables to be published in machine-readable formats, which would raise the quality of fiscal debate and lower the cost of oversight.

Alrai Alrashid Center called on the relevant authorities to publish the quarterly budget execution tables in open, machine-readable formats, as several countries in the region already do.

The Center explained that the absence of detailed data forces researchers to rely on divergent estimates, which affects the accuracy of public debate on the deficit and spending.
