Córdoba, Entre Ríos and Santa Fe Top National Fiscal Transparency Index

A fall in the national average to 70.9 points signals weakening provincial fiscal transparency that could undermine public oversight of budgets.

Overview

  • ASAP published its semiannual Índice de Cumplimiento de la Ley de Responsabilidad Fiscal in June 2026 based on a website survey conducted in the first half of April 2026 covering 22 jurisdictions that adhere to the federal regime.
  • Córdoba, Entre Ríos and Santa Fe received perfect scores of 100 points and make up Group I for strict compliance after publishing the full set of required fiscal documents.
  • The national average slipped from 74.3 to 70.9 versus the September 2025 report and is down 6.8 points compared with March 2025, reflecting a broad deterioration in transparency.
  • Seven provinces sit in Group II with high compliance but missing personnel data, while eight provinces are in Group IV with low compliance; Tierra del Fuego ranks lowest at 30 points and Buenos Aires, Mendoza and others score around 55.
  • The index weights publication of the 2026 budget (35 points), the Ahorro‑Inversión‑Financiamiento scheme (25 points) and several planillas (debt stock, expenditure by function, personnel) at 10 points each, La Pampa and San Luis were excluded for not adhering to the federal regime, and ASAP will remeasure performance in its next semestral round.
