Government Spending 0% open

Finland


What data is expected?

Records of actual (past) national government spending at a detailed transactional level. Data must display ongoing expenditure, including transactions and subsidies. A database of contracts awarded or similar will not be considered sufficient. Open spending data shows whether public money is efficiently and effectively used. It helps to understand spending patterns, and to display corruption, misuse, and waste. We recommend that you consult our methodology section for more information.

  • Individual record of transactions
  • Government office which had the transaction
  • Date of transaction
  • Name of vendor
  • Amount of the transaction

How open is the data?

Statistics about spending, on central government and municipal level, are published here: https://pxnet2.stat.fi/PXWeb/pxweb/fi/StatFin/ https://pxnet2.stat.fi/PXWeb/pxweb/fi/Kuntien_talous_ja_toiminta This information is available through an XML-based API.
