7. Concluding remarks
Summary of observations
In terms of availability, the expenditure domain is relatively lagging
behind vis-à-vis demand for these data
While fiscal data might be accessible online, they are in PDF format
☐ Time series of fiscal data is not available in one source
Identification of accurate data requires prior knowledge regarding the
data collection process and methodology of the relevant agencies which
might not be common amongst the layperson
☐ Fiscal data which are better in terms of timeliness often suffer in terms of
accuracy criteria
□ There is no 'gold standard' when it comes to fiscal data - focusing on one
dimension could mean forgoing the others
