Details

Since this year's criterion requires Individual record of transactions, date of the transactions, government office which had the transaction and name of vendor, we do not think the data provided by the government meets such criterion.

See last year's comment below.

Some data annual expenditure data can also be accessed here: http://www.finances.gov.tn/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=127&Itemid=303&lang=fr

As yearly (high level) data is available, we can safely assume that the government has monthly data as well but this is not available online.

Via the Open Data Tunisia portal, the most recent budget/spending data is from 2012 (PDF) http://www.data.gov.tn/fr/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=viewlink&link_id=40&Itemid=187

This does however indicate that the data exists and the Open Budget Library has year end reports for 2014 which indicate digital form.
