Fiscal Transparency: 46/100 (moderate)
46
out of 100
weak
23 of 37 scored fields populated. Higher = stronger statutory transparency requirements.

Tajikistan's national fiscal transparency framework is established by the Constitution (1994, revised 2016) Arts. 57, 60, and 75, the annual Law on State Budget, and the Law on State Financial Control. Tajikistan is the lowest-scoring cluster member alongside Belarus, reflecting significant institutional gaps. The Palatai Hisob (Accounting Chamber) is the SAI but does not publish audit reports publicly — annual reports submitted to Majlisi Milli (upper house) but not accessible online (audit_public=False). No effective whistleblower protection law exists (whistleblower_protections=False). Tajikistan has NO standalone independent fiscal institution (IFI) and no legislative budget office. No budget submission deadline confirmed from primary sources. Annual expenditure reporting floor retained. The Constitution (2016 revision) Arts. 57 and 60 establish the fiscal framework; Art. 75 establishes parliamentary oversight of the executive. State budget enacted annually as law — this is the primary fiscal instrument. Source gaps: constitutionproject.org/constitution/Tajikistan_2016 accessible; primary statute text for Budget Law and Public Procurement Law not separately extracted (official Tajikistan government portals not confirmed accessible). Currency: TJS (Tajikistani somoni); fiscal year: calendar year.
