May 22, 2026

THE PHILIPPINES emerged as a top performer in Southeast Asia for fiscal transparency, according to a survey conducted by the International Budget Partnership (IBP), the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) said.

In a statement on Thursday, the DBM said the Philippines scored 76 out of 100 in fiscal transparency in the 2025 Open Budget Survey (OBS) ‐reaffirming the country’s growing reputation as a regional leader in open governance and public financial accountability.‐

The survey, using data from 2024, measures three pillars — transparency, public participation, and oversight.

‐For transparency, what was measured was the public access to information on how the central government raises and spends public resources,‐ IBP Independent Researcher Zy-za Nadine N. Suzara said at the OBS 2025 Results Forum.

The Philippines’ score of 76 indicates that the country is ‐publishing a sufficient volume of budget information,‐ according to the survey. This was slightly higher than the score of 75 recorded in 2023.
