| Description | This score captures the existence of online portals to access relevant government information.

| Methodology snapshot | The T-Index’s de facto component measures transparency by directly assessing the availability, accessibility, and coverage of relevant government data. This approach focuses on the de facto practice of transparency, rather than merely its de jure existence. The T-Index defines transparency as the availability and accessibility (cost-free) of minimal public information required to deter corruption and enable accountability. Its 14 de facto components evaluate the following areas: online publication of public expenditures, procurement data, land cadasters, company registers, court rulings, financial disclosures, donor funds, mining concessions, and more. |
| Scale | Low transparency to High transparency Note: For this indicator, max values are better. |
