This third edition of Government at a Glance Latin America and the Caribbean provides the latest available evidence on public administrations and their performance in the LAC region and compares it to OECD countries. This publication includes indicators on public finances and economics, public employment, centres of government, regulatory governance, open government data, public sector integrity, public procurement and for the first time core government results (e.g. trust, inequality reduction). Governance indicators are especially useful for monitoring and benchmarking governments' progress in their public sector reforms. Each indicator in the publication is presented in a user-friendly format, consisting of graphs and/or charts illustrating variations across countries and over time, brief descriptive analyses highlighting the major findings of the data, and a methodological section on the definition of the indicator and any limitations in data comparability.

Budget transparency

Budget transparency goes beyond having all relevant budgetary information disclosed in a timely and systematic manner. It is a multi-faceted concept that refers to the clarity, comprehensiveness, reliability, timeliness, accessibility and usability of public reporting on public finances. Levels of budgetary transparency are influenced by the existence of legal requirements and governments’ disposition towards sharing information, among other aspects.
