Assessment of the Transparency of the Budget Process in the Republic of Moldova
Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
This research document assesses, both quantitatively and qualitatively, how transparent the budget process is in the Republic of Moldova and how the country compares with others worldwide. It relies on the standard Open Budget Index methodology developed by the International Budget Partnership and covers all stages of the budget process.
Transparency is presented as an obligation of the Government and as a tool for increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the use of state resources. The study also evaluates the quality of the participatory process at every stage of the budget cycle.
Overall, Moldova's standing is not poor, but practices are not uniform across the stages of the budget process. The document therefore offers a set of policy recommendations for the relevant authorities, aimed at increasing the transparency of the budget process and ensuring quality participation of the wider public in it.
