До 1991  г. страны  Евразийского экономического союза (ЕАЭС) (Армения, Беларусь, Казахстан, Кыргызстан и   Россия) входили в  состав единой бюджетной системы   СССР.  После распада Советского  Союза и   последующего обретения  независимости рассматриваемые страны стали проводить самостоятельную фискальную политику. Во всех пяти странах был проведен ряд реформ, в  результате которых были изменены организации налогово-бюджетной политики, созданы новые фискальные институты и  соответствующая правовая база.

Цель

Цель. Определить влияние открытого бюджета на уровень коррупции в  странах ЕАЭС.

Задачи

Задачи. Анализ данных международных организаций, которые оценивают текущую ситуацию в этих странах.

Методология

Методология . Оценка влияния открытых финансовых данных (согласно Open Data Inventory, ODIN, подготовленной Open Data Watch) на коррупцию для пяти стран  ЕАЭС за период с  2015 по 2020 г. с использованием анализа несбалансированных панельных данных.

Результаты

Результаты . Поставленная гипотеза о   положительном антикоррупционном влиянии открытого бюджета в  странах  ЕАЭС подтвердилась. Было обнаружено, что качество регулирования и   открытость бюджета могут повлиять на снижение уровня коррупции.

Выводы

Выводы .  Сделан вывод, что страны  ЕАЭС существенно различаются по антикоррупционной и   политике и практике открытого бюджета, а также по рейтингам международных организаций.

Until 1991,  the Eurasian Economic Union   (EAEU) countries, namely Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia, were part of the unified budget system of the USSR.   After the collapse of the Soviet Union and subsequent independence, the countries began to pursue an independent fiscal policy. In all five countries, a number of reforms have been implemented that have resulted in changes in the organization of fiscal policy, the creation of new fiscal institutions and the corresponding legal framework.

 Aim

 Aim . To reveal the open budget effect on the corruption on the cases of the EAEU countries.

Tasks

Tasks. We  analyze data from international organizations that assess the current situation in these countries.

Methods

Methods. We assess the impact of open financial data (according to the Open Data Inventory, ODIN, prepared by Open Data Watch) on corruption for the five EAEU countries (2015–2020) based on unbalanced panel data analysis.

Results

Results . The hypothesis posed about the positive anti-corruption impact of an open budget in the EAEU countries was confirmed. We found that the quality of regulation and openness of the budget can affect the reduction of corruption.

Conclusion

Conclusion. It is concluded that the EAEU countries differ significantly in anti-corruption and open budget policies and practices, as well as in the international organizations indices.
