Government Budget / 2013 61% open (avg.)

Each of the budget revisions are published as an Act and therefore available freely. Click on the links in the content of the page, to get to a page about each revision of a yearly budget. There, the first two links will be the budget in PDF and CSV format. Since 2013 the budget is also provided in CSV. Older PDF and CSV files, general part only ("splošni del"), are provided via a third party, on github: https://github.com/zejn/prrorracun/tree/master/final/splosni ----

It has to be said that the granularity of the data is not satisfying. The budget data is available as XLS in bulk and free to use as an "amtliches Werk" according to §5 Abs 1. UrhG

Current budget is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/. Formal budget documents are in PDF format and are on http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Overview. Machine-readable data in Excel and CSV files can be found in the supplemental material at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Supplemental. In terms of the open license, given this is Federal data one would anticipate this is public domain. Furthermore, the Whitehouse.gov copyright notice states all material is CC-By (see http://www.whitehouse.gov/copyright). Comments: - Bulk: Whilst the data is split across multiple files there is an good core set of data in the "Public Budget Database" which consists of only 3 substantial CSV files. As such, have marked Bulk as "Yes" - Machine-readable: whilst formal budget is PDF we believe that all relevant data is contained in the Excel and CSV files so Machine-readable is "Yes" (note also that the CSV files are well formatted) - Older budgets: the OMB budget site only contains data for the latest budget with past budgets available on the GPO website at: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collectionGPO.action?collectionCode=BUDGET. The GPO site only provides PDFs. However, the OMB site does contain a historical tables section at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Historicals and the Public Budget Database contains data back to 1962.

The General Accounting Office publishes data on central government spending of the state in time series from 2007 and processable format. The data allow to follow the evolution of resources allocated, committed and paid from the state budget, broken down into the public policy goals (missions and programs), the economic nature of the expenditure (by title and economic category), the nature of 'legislative authorization (by type of authorization) and the administration responsible for the implementation and management (accounting). [amended: it is possible to download state 2013 budget as xls from http://www.rgs.mef.gov.it/_Documenti/VERSIONE-I/Servizio-s/Studi-e-do/La-spesa-d/Tavole/1-BP-2013.xls under IODL2 as well as other documents mentioned above]

The data for the most recent year is updated monthly. The annual budget data is avaible back to FY 2009.

A lot of budget & spending datasets from 2007-2012. The application doesn't seem reliable, though - hangs and crashes a lot, only beta version available. Doesn't work well with Internet Explorer, suggest using Chrome to view. Link is to 2011 central budget.

The original submitter is entirely right that the budget information can be found via the http://www.statsbudsjettet.no/ link, but that it's hard to get machine-readable data from there.

However, Statistics Norway has a much of the same data available in machine readable form ( csv, tsv, xml, pc-axis, and excel ). Alas, the data is not very detailed - the data categories are quite general generally. But still, numbers are available in machine readable form http://www.ssb.no/offentlig-sektor/statistikker/statsregn/kvartal/2013-06-04?fane=tabell&sort=nummer&tabell=114655

The position seems to be as follows. There is an annual "Budget speech" and documents are published online by HM Treasury and are re-useable under the terms of the UK's Open Government Licence. Main documents are in PDF but some raw data is also provided in Excel format. However this does not usually include detailed departmental budgets. Departmental level budgets are in a number of places, but the two collections available regularly free of charge under the UK Open Government Licence are: (1) the annual "Estimates" published each April for the financial year commencing that April. These are published in PDF format department by department and are at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmt-main-estimates for the last three years 2011-12, 2012-13, and 2013-14. This dataset is "up to date" (2) the same, and some more detailed, data is contained in the "Plans" part of the COINS/OSCAR dataset http://data.gov.uk/dataset/coins (this also contains matching expenditure information). Although the expenditure information is published quarterly, the "plans" are not currently published in COINS data until the end of the financial year to which they relate. Once Plans information is available on COINS it is available for bulk download in machine readable format (CSV). In assessing the ratings fairly it was necessary to choose between the "Estimates" and "COINS" versions - the COINS version seemed closer to the ideal, even though it was not as up to date, and that is assessed here.

budget plans are available but not in a bulk

A lot of budget & spending datasets from 2007-2012. The application doesn't seem reliable, though - hangs and crashes a lot, only beta version available. Doesn't work well with Internet Explorer, suggest using Chrome to view. Link is to 2011 central budget.

Budget portal is still beta. Ivan Pavlov: we consider the Russian Budget Information as open licensed, taking into the account Russian Legislation provisions. According to the Civil Сode of Russia (Article 1259), official government documents including laws, other legal texts, judicial decisions, other materials of legislative, administrative and judicial character are not objects of copyright. Also according to the Russian FOI law (Article 1), information about the activities of government bodies and bodies of local self-government is information (including documentation), established within government bodies, their territorial bodies, local authorities or institutions subordinate to the state authorities, local self-government (hereinafter - organizations subordinated to it), or received by the mentioned bodies and organizations. Information on the activities of government bodies and bodies of local self-government also includes laws and other normative legal acts concerning information on the activities of bodies of local self-government – municipal legal acts defining structure, competence, formation and operating procedures of the above-specified bodies and organizations, and other information concerning their activity. Thus, according to the current Russian legislation, there are no legal restrictions on use, reuse or redistribute budget data.

The General Accounting Office is responsible for the dissemination and publicity of the Annual Budget. Unfortunately, the General Accounting office has chosen to publish the related data in formats, which essentially prevents further use of this information by the public. The annual budget is published as unstructured PDF documents, while the internal breakdown formations change almost every year. This makes comparisons of actual spending with the budget , particularly difficult. Some experimental projects have been made using data scraping techniques , however, for a reliable and efficient solution the General Accounting Office should re-evaluate the data publishing policies applied.

The Egyptian financial year starts in the beginning of July each year, thus this is the budget for the period between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2014. This data was extracted from the PDF file above (published by the Egyptian Ministry of Finance here) and is available on GitHub: http://datahub.io/dataset/egypt-budget-summary-2013-2014 The original data (in the PDF) as well as all publications and data are property of the Ministry of Finance.

The state budget is published as soon as it is approved by the Parliament on the Ministry of Public Finance website. The budget is presented as a set of PDF documents. The Ministry of Finance has formally refused (in written) to publish it as open data. On the same page, the Ministry publishes any rectification made during the year but the data is not aggregated. Thus, if one wants to know the actual budget, one has to take the information from two separate PDFs and make its own calculations.
