Fiscal Transparency: 73/100 (good)
73
out of 100

Brazil's national fiscal transparency framework is anchored by the Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (LC 101/2000), which mandates bimonthly fiscal execution reports (RREO) and quadrimestral fiscal management reports (RGF) for all tiers and branches of government, supplemented by real-time transactional expenditure disclosure via the Portal da Transparência (as amended by LC 131/2009). External audit is exercised by the constitutionally independent Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU, CF Arts. 71-74), with internal oversight by the CGU; the Senate-established Instituição Fiscal Independente (IFI, 2016) performs independent fiscal monitoring. Brazil ranks 7th of 125 countries in the IBP Open Budget Survey 2023 (OBI 80/100), placing it among the top 10 globally and the strongest major Latin American economy for fiscal transparency.
