Vietnam scores low for budget transparency as public participation remains ‘limited’

Scoring only 18 out of 100 on an open budget index compiled by the International Budget Partnership, Vietnam’s budget transparency is deemed “scant” and far below the world average score of 45.
 
The performance is slightly worse than that of 2012, when the country scored 19, according to the organization’s latest biennial Open Budget Survey, which examined 102 countries around the world this year.
