In order to assess transparency of select areas of public finance in 8-10 countries and to broaden insights already existing thanks to the Open Budget Index, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities from Washington (non-profit NGO which deals with budget analysis) investigated quasi-fiscal activities.
Institute of Public Finance carried out the research of quasi-fiscal activities in Croatia: the legal framework, information availability, monitoring and public participation. For enabling civil society to analyse and influence public finance, its processes and institutions, the results of this research are of value for possible revisions and amendments to the Open Budget Index Questionnaire which would better capture quasi-fiscal activities.
The analysis is available at the International Budget Partnership website.
