Details

Most of the data is made available in PDF files, although some Excel files are available; therefore, the data is overall not machine-readable.

The PDF files must be downloaded individually for individual years, so the data is not available in bulk.

All government-generated data is legally public domain in Georgia, although the Ministry of Finance website specifies that it is Copyright 2012 the Ministry of Finance. No specific license for the dataset is provided, however.
