| description | Transparency is one of the indispensable elements of democracy. The concept of budget transparency, which began to be discussed more commonly during the 2000s, refers to the openness of all public sector activities to provide information about how they generate income and spend these incomes. The most important regulation to ensure budget transparency in Turkey is the Public Financial Management and Control Law No. 5018. Along with the ongoing increase in the importance of budget transparency, there have also been considerable efforts to monitor budget transparency. In our study, we examine the current situation in Turkey’s budget transparency within the framework of the 2019 results of the Open Budget Survey conducted by the International Budget Partnership. According to this survey, Turkey is a country that offers its citizens only limited information on budget transparency. The publication of the Citizens Budget in 2017 contributed to Turkey’sbudget transparency score in the relevant year compared to previous years. In contrast, the score, which fell again in 2019, shows that Turkey still has a long way to go to ensure full budget transparency. |
