Comments

The Ministry of Finance, Communication, Utilities and Energy of Aruba provides yearly insight into the financial affairs of the country by making the actual and budgeted financial statements of each Ministry and department of Government available online for download in PDF format via the Government of Aruba's website.

The latest publication provided was for the year 2011 and is accessible as Jaarrekening Land Aruba 2011.pdf (Annual Country Statements Aruba 2011).

However, this is is aggregated data, not transactional data, and obviously old. Given that the government does not seem to publish aggregated data for recent years, the transactional spending data must be marked as non-existing.

Reviewer comments

Submission fixed.

There is no indication that the government has expenditure data for recent years.
