The platform provides ready-made and customized reports, interactive dashboards and visual presentations that track monthly state budget execution by ministry, government department, and revenue and expenditure category. It gives users a clearer view of how public funds are allocated and spent throughout the year.

Users can also access state budget data dating back to 2021, allowing them to compare budgeted and actual figures, analyze variances and identify changes in spending and revenue over time. Data can be filtered by year, month, public body, and spending or revenue category, giving users more flexibility to examine specific areas of the budget.

A Push For Broader Public Understanding

According to Antoniades, the objective is not only to improve access to fiscal information but also to make budget data easier to understand for a wider audience.
