- The report assesses fiscal transparency practices in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia against the IMF’s Fiscal Transparency Code.
- Macedonia meets the standard of good or advanced practice on 13 of the 36 principles.
- Macedonia meets the basic standard on a further 12 principles.
- In 5 of the areas where Macedonia’s transparency practices do not currently meet basic practice, the shortfall could be addressed by publishing data that are already collected for internal management purposes.
