Saudi Arabia 15% open

The data is published by the Saudi Central Dept. of Statistics and Information, http://www.cdsi.gov.sa/ We have population here in XLS format, till 2014, http://www.cdsi.gov.sa/english/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=160

Here you can find GDP, also in XLS, but it is not updated quarterly as required, only yearly till 2014, http://www.cdsi.gov.sa/english/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=151

Here is labor force data, for 1st half of 2015, in PDF file, http://www.cdsi.gov.sa/english/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=296&Itemid=162

As mentioned above, although the data exists, the GDP and Labour Data doesn't meet the above criterion of being updated Quarterly and Monthly respectively

As for the 5 days weather forecast, it is provided by the Saudi Presidency of Meteorology and Environment here (http://www.pme.gov.sa/w5df.asp), there is also radar readings from different stations (http://www.pme.gov.sa/Doppler.asp). The map here (http://jrcc.sa/as/) shows those stations. The forecast data includes temperature, wind speed, humidity and symbols for thunderstorms, rain and sunny, etc.

Historic data is a bit problematic here, the Saudi Open Data Portal (http://data.gov.sa/) provides datasets for temperature (http://data.gov.sa/dataset/temperature), wind (http://data.gov.sa/dataset/wind), humidity (http://data.gov.sa/dataset/relative-humidity), thunderstorms (http://data.gov.sa/dataset/thunderstorms), fog (http://data.gov.sa/dataset/fog-phenomena), etc. However, when accessed the most recent XLS files, they are of 2013.

Note, although the data on the Open Data portal is in bulk and openly licensed, that on the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment is copyrighted, and since we gave more weight to the latter as the former is not up to date. We answered the questions about licensing and machine readability according to how the information is presented in the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment

All legislation in Saudi is published in the Official Gazette of Saudi - Um Al Qura. This publication can be downloaded for free from its official website ( http://www.uqn.gov.sa/Pages/Default.aspx ). The most recent laws and royal orders can be easily accessed through the upper menu of the website. There is no comprehensive legal search engine on the website as the Official Gazette also publishes other information besides legislation.

It is worth noting that the Bureau of Experts at the Council of Ministers has a search engine on its website for primary legislation ( https://www.boe.gov.sa/search.aspx?lang=ar ) which could be easier to use, but it is difficult to verify if this database includes all the legislation and whether or not it is up to date.

The Council of Saudi Chambers publishes the details of government tenders and the details of the contracts signed by the government in regard to these tenders - i.e. the awards). The details of the project, company, and contract value is available. However, the websites does not show the date of tender or award and it appears to be out of date.

General Commission for Survey of Saudi ( http://www.gcs.gov.sa/Home.aspx ) is responsible for maintaining and publishing official maps of Saudi. Maps at the detail level required by the index (1:25000) ( http://www.gcs.gov.sa/Products/DetailedMaps.aspx ) cannot be downloaded from the website and can only acquired by request. It is not clear from the website if payment is required to acquire these maps.

The Ministry of Justice has a real estate register ( http://www.sc.gov.sa/ ) in which all properties are registered. No information is available about the data and the relevant information for this dataset does not appear to be accessible to the public.

it seem the government is Collect information of air quality monitoring

In the continuity of the setup of the National air quality monitoring system of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia delivered in 2007, the PME- Presidency of Meteorology and Environment, has renewed its confidence by placing a PO of 300 analysers !

29 stations will be shortly being integrated locally by our experimented long term Partners duly trained and skilled. Those stations will be deployed as fixed and mobile laboratories in the provinces of Medina, Makka and Al Qasim fleshing out the National Network.

It is unknown if such data exists in Saudi. Saudi has a Ministry for Water and Electricity ( http://www.mowe.gov.sa/ ) who could be responsible for this matter, but no information in regard to water pollution could be found on its website.

It is unclear if the Saudi government collects the information required at a transactional level. According to IBP's Open Budget Survey Saudi Arabia only has internal documents or no documents so very likely the data does not exist or is not collected properly.

Saudi Arabia uses 2 post code systems: http://www.upu.int/fileadmin/documentsFiles/activities/addressingUnit/sauEn.pdf

No dataset has been identified.

Saudi does not have an elected legislative or executive governmental body. Previous editions of the index have reported on the data of "municipal" elections which are only concerned with the activities of the municipality and are not 'national'.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry provides a web based system for querying the company register (http://eservices.mci.gov.sa/Eservices/Verification/PageVerify.aspx?docId=3). However, this system retrieves data by using the commercial registration number of a company in order to retrieve data about it. Due to the lack of a valid commercial registration number, it could not be verified if (a) the system works, and (b) it contains the data required for satisfying the requirements of this question.

The Ministry of Finance is the body responsible for preparing the budget. It publishes a report for the annual budget that includes general income and expenses for Saudi. However, these reports ( http://www.mof.gov.sa/Arabic/DownloadsCenter/Pages/Budget.aspx ) do not include a government department level breakdown and therefore do not qualify as being available for the purpose of this index.

The data published by the Ministry of Finance is in the form of textual document (see this years budget here: https://www.mof.gov.sa/Arabic/DownloadsCenter/DocLib/%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%86%20%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9%202015%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D8%B3%D8%AE%D8%A9%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%A9.pdf), where numbers are approximate and mentioned in the form of "about so and so". The document has section for the total budget, and sections for department, but because the data is not in a table, it is not clear if all departments are mentioned or not, numbers doesn't seem to sum up. As mentioned by the submitted, the data doesn't qualify for the index this year, thus I'd rather set the data existence question to no. Furthermore, the Saudi Data Portal (http://www.data.gov.sa/) doesn't seem to have an updated data for the budget. Only budget from 2 years ago (see here: http://www.data.gov.sa/dataset/government-budget-budget-allocations-first-chapter)
