Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

National government budget at a high level, that is the planned government expenditure for the upcoming year, and not the actual expenditure. Open budget data allows for well-informed publics: showing where money is spent on, how public funds develop over time, and why certain activities are funded. We recommend that you consult our methodology section for more information.

Reviewer comments

Comment reviewer: there is also an interactive website: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/interactive-budget but unfortunately the github link for downloading all the underlying data and code is broken. Also the 2017 budget seems only available in PDF.
