Central government budget transparency: Croatia with much room for improvement

The most recent round of research conducted by the International Budget Partnership (IBP) on central government budget transparency sees Croatia scoring 67 points (out of a maximum of 100), ranking 24th out of the 125 countries included in the analysis. Even though this score is three points higher than in the previous research round (2021), there is still substantial room for improvement, not only with regard to publishing timely and intelligible information on the collection and spending of budget funds, but also with regard to including the public in budget-related processes.
