Government Budget 55% open (avg.)

They also provide brief presentation on analysis of annual revenue and Expenditure in English, PDF format. Central Government General Budget, Ficscal Year 2015: Link (All in PDF.)

Revision: The originally proposed link pointed to a bunch of very different files including non budget ones, and only reflected the government's intended budget, before it was discussed and largely modified by the parliament (the data is from october 14th 2014, whereas the discussion lasted until the end of december : http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/14/dossiers/loi_finances_2015.asp ).

It seems better to reference data published by the Cour des Comptes which corresponds to the actual final government budget, programme by programme, published as a whole : https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/budget-de-letat-exercice-2014/

How detailed do the descriptions have to be? Is something like http://www.budget.public.lu/lu/budget2016/am-detail enough?

The data available at the SPIR portal 1 is provided with low granular level, it not seems to be complete but it is up-to-date and well formatted. It is also easy to share. Howerver, it only works on Firefox.

There is another tools maintained by the Ministerio de Hacienda, called the Boost database [3] that contains budget information from 2003 until 2014.

About the license, the Paraguayan FOI law[3], and the presidential decree that regulares this law [4] establishes an open license for the budget data.

The data is available since 2014 in CSV and XML. The data asset is also available on Finnish data portal Avoindata.fi.

On the page ( http://budjetti.vm.fi/indox/index.jsp ) data is available in PDF and HTML but not in CSV, XLS or neither through API. The page is hosted by Ministry of Finance. The main datasets are the ones Government proposes to the Parliament. The Parliament amends the budget perioidically. See the discussion in Finnish: http://avoindata.net/245/onko-valtion-budjettidata-saatavilla-avoimena-ja-milloin

Machine readable data for 2015 can be found here - http://budjetti.vm.fi/indox/opendata-csv.jsp

The government budget dataset is available on the Open Fiscal Data site managed by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of the Republic of Korea. The dataset is available in bulk, in various formats including XML, JSON, Excel, CSV, and Text. The site also provides Web APIs which can be used to harness data programatically on the Web.

Actually, this dataset does not include descriptions regarding the different budget sections, but the budget in the dataset is well divided by government departments, ledgers, accounts, sectors, parts, programs, and sub-programs so general citizens can easily understand where the money goes without explicit descriptions. In this regards, I think the dataset meets the minimum criteria of the dataset definition.

Hong Kong released its budget plans in CSV format for the first time this year. The full descriptions for spending are still held in PDF format in the 'Budget Speech' documents: http://www.budget.gov.hk/2015/eng/speech.html

Budget commitments are described in terms of policy areas, but there is a document that links policy area to government departments. The expenditure plans in the CSV format do include a fairly detailed breakdown of 'large' projects that includes past and future expenditure.

Budgets for years 2010 - 2015 are available. The current budget is published in 3 phases (estimates, changes, actual expenditure) and updated quaterly.

Czech national budget for 2016 has not been approved by the parliament and therefore not published (not even a framework).

The license says, that data can be shared freely and integrated into computer programs or databases and other works. However, it also mentions, that the data can't be edited - I think this is just unfortunate definition, that means that the cannot be used in a misleading way, but I'm not 100% sure about it.

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).

No changes from last year. Data is published here (http://opendata.rijksbegroting.nl/), and is available as CSV, under Creative Commons CC Zero license. It has an overview of expenses, liabilities by departmental budgets.

See last year's comment below: De begrotingsstaten van het Rijk worden op of rond prinsjesdag als open data ontsloten.

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.

Furthermore, the Whitehouse.gov copyright notice states all material is CC-By (see http://www.whitehouse.gov/copyright).

Bulk: Whilst the data is split across multiple files there is a 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 data for the most recent year is updated monthly. The annual budget data is avaible back to FY 2009. The data is available grouped in three ways (in French and English): - Statutory forecasts - Expenditures by Strategic Outcome and Program - Expenditures by Standard Object The data is available in Excel (.xls) formats. (No change from 2014)

2015 - The budget breakdown can be found under PESA- Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses . However, it is not clear if one can see budget breakdown for sub-departments. Moreover, it was hard to find the dataset, and it was not available on data.gov.uk, but on the gov.uk website. In addition, there was no link from the treasury webpage to this dataset.

All the data is one place, but it would be better if it was in one spreadsheet.

The budget book can be find under the name Main Supply Estimates 2015 to 2016, and it is not publish in a Machine readable format, nor it does not linked from the treasury website.

Indonesia government budget (APBN) is spread over several resources as published in Indonesia Data Portal http://data.go.id/dataset under Bank Indonesia http://data.go.id/dataset?_organization_limit=0&organization=bank-indonesia

Data is not timely. Could not find data for 2015.

The Government Budget for the upcoming year is freely available to download in bulk as a collection of PDF files from the SEPG website.

There's no machine readable version either in the SEPG or in the Spanish Open Data Portal.

A good example of what the open data version of the spanish national bugget would be is available to download as CSV on dondevanmisimpuestos.es, a social project byt the NGO Fundación Civio.

The annual budget is published in Arabic in the Official Gazette and can be accessed from the website of the Ministry of Finances and the website of the Ministry of Legal Affairs. The budget provides a sector and department level breakdown of estimated expenses and profits. The latest budget documents (2014 and 2015) are only found as PDF files, while previous documents are available in XLS format.

The Annual Budget is issued through a Royal Decree, which is exempt from copyright protection and is there available freely to use, reuse, or to distribute. This is confirmed in Article 4(A) of the Omani Copyright Law (found here: http://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/text.jsp?file_id=180949 )

Additionally, the same budget document in PDF format could be downloaded from the website of the Ministry of Legal Affairs (Example: http://www.mola.gov.om/Download.aspx?Path=royal/1-2015.pdf ) and the terms and conditions of the website of the Ministry of Legal Affairs clearly state that:

"The website of the Ministry of Legal Affairs contains official documents such as Royal Decrees and Decisions and which are considered part of the public domain excluded from copyright protection and which may be reproduced, republished, and used without restrictions." (Taken from http://www.mola.gov.om/eng/websitepolicy.aspx )

Note: Arabic is the only official language in Oman and like majority of websites of the Omani government, the English sections of websites are rarely updated and information here is based on the Arabic content.

Data is also published on the website of the Brazilian planning Ministry: http://www.planejamento.gov.br/ministerio.asp?index=8&ler=t297 But links are broken. In June 2014 the Brazilian government published all budget data as .rdf data on the Open Data Catalogue http://dados.gov.br

Review- 2015 - The file is not updated on the CKAN portal. It can be found in this link - https://www1.siop.planejamento.gov.br/downloads/rdf/loa2015.zip There is no license attached to this source.

The link to license does not mention any rights to private or public use, it is just a privacy policy - https://www.dnp.gov.co/Paginas/Pol%C3%ADtica-de-privacidad.aspx

Budget Online webpage provides access to recent budget data in pdf and xls formats.

The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the annual budget ( http://www.mof.gov.ae/ ), however, the website does not publish the budget.

The annual budget is issued as a Federation Law which is published in the Official Gazette of the UAE. ( http://www.alittihad.ae/details.php?id=36283&y=2015 ) The Official Gazette can be purchased from the Ministry of Justice and is not available on the internet. ( https://gazette.moj.gov.ae/Introduction.aspx )

Reviewer's Comment: I was able to find the data on the website for the Ministry of Finance on its Open Data section, it is available for online for free. It is in PDF and XLS format, though not openly licensed. Data is available both as balance and as functional (departments). The balance has expenses as ongoing expenses and assets, each with sub categories. The descriptions provided are very limited though. http://www.mof.gov.ae/Ar/OpenData/Pages/default.aspx

PDF files that contain information on the government's budget for a given year can be found on the website of the Ministry of Finance. Data is available since 2008. A link to an XML file of the Budget exists but it's broken.

Reviewer's note - I was able to access the XML file in this address - http://www.finance.gov.mk/files/u6/budzet%202015.xml Therefore I changed the machine readable section to Yes.

The information provided by government officials in Kazakhstan (by default) is open for reuse, publishing as cited by the law. The website provides information about approved law of budget spending for upcoming years as well as project of such law.

Reviewer's note - the site has the following text in the bottom - All rights reserved © 2001-2015 by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhsta

Therefore, we marked the data as not openly licensed. Data is available in bulk.

The license of the e-Stat data is available at http://www.e-stat.go.jp/estat/html/spec_en.html. And MoF's license is here: http://www.mof.go.jp/english/notice.htm

Section 3 in the license "Prohibited use" makes the data non-open.

Data is available in a form of "interactive portal". XLS export is available for most data. License is not clearly stated and there is copyright notice in the footer of the web page so "no" is filled.

The data is available in the OGD India (https://data.gov.in) website mentioned above with their links. The data is available in machine readable formats. The data portal provides important data pertaining to various aspects of the budget from 2011-12 to 2015-16 in machine readable excel format.

The Ministry of Finance website http://indiabudget.nic.in/index.asp on Union Budget provides up to date information about the budget (In XLS and PDF Format). The information available on OGD India is completely open for reuse and further studies and research. Same is the case with the data available on the budget website.

The data is not available in bulk in the sense that you have to download budget information for expenditure and incomes separately.

No explicit notice or information has been found explaining the terms of use of the data set.

QA comment - change to bulk, because the files are available under the same link (as we accepted in other countries). The data does not have a license or any terms of use. i have changed it to now.

The Budget law is promulgated in the State gazette, so it is in the public domain. The PDF is also published on the Ministry of Finances website (see here for 2015: http://www.minfin.bg/bg/page/851).

The consolidated budget framework is published on the Finances ministry website, usually as an Excel generated PDF. The available Excel sheets for 2015 are different amendments but their aim is unclear.

Data has been considered unavailable in bulk because each file, be it in machine-readable format or no, has to be downloaded individually. Also, the data has been considered available for free as anyone can access the files and download them from the Ministry's website.

Reviewer's note - Although each excel file needs to be downloaded individually,it is all in one webpage, and we consider that as bulk. For the future, it would be better if all the data was in one spreadsheet.

The state budget for recent years is published as semi-structured XLS files (cell text indentation level shows budget entry hierarchy, not entirely machine-readable): http://www.fm.gov.lv/files/valstsbudzets/2014/4piel_2014_budzets_131113.xls

URL for state budget 2014: http://www.fm.gov.lv/lv/sadalas/valsts_budzets/2014__gada_budzets/

Update (2015): situation is the same as in 2014. Updated the dataset URL field to the current year (state budget 2015).

URL of data online: "http://www.regeringen.se/sb/d/2548/a/199285" has been deleted for unknown reasons, however, it has been replaced by an updated version.

The state budget is published as soon as it is approved by the Parliament on a special page maintained by the Ministry of Public Finance. The budget is presented as a set of PDF documents, and, starting with 2014, also in XML format (scroll down to the bottom of the budget page for the link).

However, the XML format does not include the budget rectifications, which are only available in separate PDF files. Also, there is no updated version of the budget after rectifications, which means that one should take the provisions from the rectification bills and apply them to the original budget.

The data are under the Copyright of the Ministerul Finantelor Publice -DGTI but there is no reference to a licence nor terms of use.

The web site of Ministry Of Finance http://minfin.kg/ provides Provides information on budget, internal and external loans, budget implementation, plans and expenses across governmental bodies. The data is divided into categories. The data is available in following formats xls, doc, pdf

The budget can be regarded as laws and should therefore be exempt from copyright but as there is no explicit statement on copyright exemption the budget cannot be regarded as openly licensed.

The data is also available graphically in

• http://bit.ly/mofbudget (Government Site)
• http://www.obudget.org (3rd party)

The Department of Budget and Management provides detailed information on the budget. Budget is presented by department/agency, sector and certain projects.

Data is offered in a non-machine readable format (PDF). It also can't be downloaded in bulk (only one section of the budget at a time).

Data is presented timely - current information is of 2015.

There is not explicit license on the website, therefore the data is not compliant with the open definition.

Proposed Expenditure data can be found in bulk and machine readable formate here - http://www.dbm.gov.ph/?page_id=10006

https://www.bmf.gv.at/budget/das-budget/budget-2014-2015.html provides links to the budgets for 2014 and 2015 in PDF files. Numerous relevant datasets with various statistics and payments are available as XLS files, however there appears to be no machine readable file with all data from the budget. More than a dozen XLS files are available for download, most of them with tens of worksheets, but all this data combined still does not appear to cover all the data contained in the PDF files of the budgets. The Ministry of Finance appears to claim a Copyright on all content on its website.

The Austrian Parliament has a department for budget analysis. The analysis and data produced by this department is only available online, mostly as PDF and DOCX files, a couple of relevant XLS files are available as well, but no fully machine-readable budget data set (http://www.parlament.gv.at/PAKT/BUDG/Budget/).

The data cannot be accessed by the Ministry of Finance (MoF) because there is no Freedom Information Act in federal state whereby MoF is part of the federal state territory.

The actual link to the 2016 budget proyect is: http://www.minfin.gob.gt/archivos/proypre2016/inicio.htm The form didn´t accept it. The link on the form takes you to the place were all the proyects for past years included the one for 2016, are listed.

The data for 2015 is not published yet, only for 2014.

The complete budget is available in a series of PDF's, from 1836 on. (No changes from 2014.)

Data could be more granular. I sent a question to the Dept. of Finance regarding the availability of the data in a bulk download and did not receive an answer. I will therefore leave it as a NO.

(same as 2014)

The budget is broken into departments.

Tajikistan is member to Open Budget Initiative. The first and last assessment was conducted in 2012, which found OBI as 17%. Though it is low in rank, it is encouraging that OBI-oriented actions have been taken in the level of the Ministry.

As ODRA interviewees believe the published information public data or information. However, there is no clear statement about intellectual property rights attached to the government information. There is also no clear statement for the terms and conditions of reuse, e.g. license.

PDF reports of the federal budget, containing data extracts, can be freely downloaded in French, German and Italian. An overview in English of next year's budget is also available online.

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.

QA note: Changed to data is not opened. Copyright - Treasury © 2014

Approved budget plan is available online for period 2012-2015 but there is no pdf nor csv format for the data.

Reviewer's note - This is the budget speech, not the budget allocation. Data exist but not available. http://www.gov.tc/index.php/pressoffice/245-budget-statement-2015-16

There is evidence that Sudan has an annual budget that is prepared in a formal format and gets approved by the Cabinet ( http://www.sudan.gov.sd/index.php/ar/events/details/1/789/%D9%85%D8%AC%D9%84%D8%B3-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D9%8A%D8%AC%D9%8A%D8%B2-%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%86%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A9-%D9%84%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%85-2015%D9%85#.VgaVFo9Viko ), but it could not be determined in what format it is available or if available online at all. The website of the Ministry of Finance of Sudan could not be found and the website of the Central Bank of Sudan ( http://www.cbos.gov.sd/ ) is offline.

Budgets are supposed to be found here, http://www.mof.gov.sd/doc_view... but links not working.

The budget can be found in the annex of this document (http://www.dgpp-mf.gov.dz/images/stories/PDF/RPLF/RPLF2015.pdf), previous years' budgets are also available on "INFORMATIONS > Documentation > Publications et Rapports > Rapports"

Reviewer's note: The budge above is only in departmental level and does not show department budget. This does not meet the criteria of this dataset. Therefore - data exist but it is not publicly available.

Sadeek: The data published on web pages. The data for 2013 and previous years can be fond at Ministry of finance website (http://www.syrianfinance.gov.sy/arabic/budget/q-and-a.html).

QA Reviewers comment Since last budget was in 2013, I don't think this dataset meets the minimum requirements. Initial submission was by Sadeek

Sadeek later comment: last data for 2014 on Presidency of the Council of Ministers website, pls take a look on the link i provided in my submission www.pministry.gov.sy/contents/... so the data meet the needed criteria . However the data for previous years can be fond at Ministry of finance website (http://www.syrianfinance.gov.s... as i mentioned.

QA Reviewer Comment: It came up that data is available for this year, yet in textual format, and it wasn't clear at first if it is actually the whole budget .

Reviewer's notes - this does not meet the criteria since it does not specify sub departments expenditure. It seems from the websites that the data exist but is unavailable.

Submitters comment: Budget speech is available from various sources including bank of Botswana http://www.bob.bw/ From the government website - http://www.finance.gov.bw/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=117&catid=23&Itemid=109

Reviewers comment: It appears that the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning offers budget data at general level (http://www.finance.gov.bw/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89&catid=23&Itemid=109), where pdf-downloads are available. The numbers are divided by sectors, but not very granular and does not contain sub department level.

The finance law is prepared by the ministry of finance, but his website is down. The budget is published as pdf document, and downloaded for free http://www.stat-niger.org/statistique/file/MF/LF2015.pdf

The data is only available up to 2013. No new data for later years is available.

PDF version of the 2014 budget law is available online - http://cambodianbudget.org/userfiles/file/Left%20Menu/Budget%20Government%20Documents/Budget%20Law%20Series/The%20Law%20on%20Financial%20Management%202014.pdf [Khmer language]

The data in this site does not seems to be from an official resource, but citizens initiative. The data therefore exist, but not publicly available.

Data is in pdf format and not machine readable.

During the review the link - http://cdn3.antiguaobserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/BUDGET-Statement-2015-FINAL-Print-Version.pdf?828426 was not working. I have changed data accordingly.

Comment: Nothing changed since 2014 year

Reviewer's comment - the data is no longer available in 2015. I have changed the data accordingly.

There is an old data for 2012-2013 in the open data portal: http://www.data.gov.ma/data/fr/dataset/budget-de-l-etat-des-annees-2012-et-2013

However, it does not have detailed expenditure for sub-departments. It seems like the data does exist but its not available.

Reviewer's note - I have altered the original submission. The budget can be found on the ministry of finance website. It is in a high level and does not explain the sub department planned expenditure (Although is does states what are the sub department.

The annual budget can be downloaded from the website of the Ministry of Finance ( http://www.mof.gov.bh/arb/categorylist.asp?ctype=budget ). The report available provides review and expediter with a department level breakdown. The website provides a link for downloading the report in Excel or PDF formats, but currently only the PDF link works.

The Ministry of Finance website has an archive for previous years going back to 2003.

Reviewer's note - data is available only in department level. This does not meet the criteria for the budget data. It seems as the data exist but it in not available to the public.

Reviewer's note- There is a budget for Bolivia, but I could not find it in the website - http://www.economiayfinanzas.gob.bo/

The government of Qatar issues the budget through an Emiri decree ( http://www.alarabiya.net/ar/aswaq/economy/2014/03/31/%D9%82%D8%B7%D8%B1-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%AF-%D8%A3%D8%B6%D8%AE%D9%85-%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B2%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AE%D9%87%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D9%8062-%D9%85%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B1.html ) , however, the actual content of this Emiri decree is not published.

Reviewer's note: This is the budget speech, not the budget itself. It seems like there is such data, but it is not publicly available. The site of the finance ministry was also blocked and I used an Ethiopian IP to access it. The budget speech can be found here: http://www.mofed.gov.et/English/Resources/Documents/Federal%20Governemnt%20Budget%20Proclamation%202008-II.doc

There is a budget speech for 2014, however, it does not contains estimates for sub departments.

Data is in pdf format and not machine readable. The data does not explain about sub department budgets.

The Ministry of Finance, Communication, Utilities and Energy of Aruba provides yearly insight into the financial affairs of the country by making the actual and budgeted financial statements of each Ministry and department of Government available online for download in PDF format via the Government of Aruba's website.

The latest publication provided was for the year 2011 and is accessible via the following link : Annual Country Statements Aruba 2011

http://www.overheid.aw/actueel/rapporten-en-documenten_43353/

The site seems not to be updated for since June, and the latest budget mentioned is for 2014 here (http://www.mof.gov.ly/index.php/2012-11-21-22-39-31.html)

We will keep the status of this dataset unchanged, and below is last year's comment for your reference:

Impossible to find actual data on this although an announcement by the Libyan Ministry of Finance exists that the 2014 budget is being prepared (http://www.mof.gov.ly/index.php/homepage/136-%D9%85%D9%86%D8%B4%D9%88%D8%B1-%D8%A5%D8%B9%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B2%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A9-%D9%84%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%86%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9-2014-%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A.html ). Legislation about budget is here http://www.mof.gov.ly/index.php/component/k2/item/22-%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%A6%D8%AD%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B2%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A9.html.

When checking for this year, the site for the ministry of finance redirects us to this https://www.mefa.gov.ir:4443/ which needs credentials to log in.

There is no data since 2013, I believe the Lebanese government didn't issue an official budget for the last few years anyway.

Link: http://www.finance.gov.lb/en-US/finance/BudgetInformation/Pages/AnnualBudgetDocumentsandProcess.aspx

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)
