Details

The Treasury has detailed up-to-date spending information, but this information is not available online.

There is a service "Valsts budžeta iestāžu izdevumi": http://www.kase.gov.lv/?module=maks&object_id=7446 that claims to provide daily expenditure information but it does not return any data.

The service at www.kase.gov.lv only has old (most recent: 2013) non-machine-readable PDF data behind a JS form and captcha and provides aggregated data, not transactional.
