Ukraine is a trend-setter in publishing finance data
Ukraine is a trend-setter when it comes to opening up finance data in
Europe. As one of the fast-trackers of the Open Data Maturity
assessment of 2020
[https://data.europa.eu/sites/default/files/edp_landscaping_insight_report_n6_2020.pdf],
the country has shown substantial progress in publishing finance data
on the online platform E-data [https://edata.gov.ua/]. 

This platform is in fact a collection of three portals: 

 	* Spending [https://spending.gov.ua/new/]: a dataset of all
transactions from the State Treasury;
 	* OpenBudget [https://openbudget.gov.ua/]: a knowledge base
containing budgets of local administrations;
 	* ProIFIs [https://proifi.gov.ua/]: an information hub for social
and investment projects financed with government loans.

These portals not only increase accessibility and transparency of
finance data, they also facilitate re-use. For example, several civil
society initiatives use _Spending_ as the big-data source for machine
learning models that inspire policy recommendations.

In addition, the _OpenBudget_ portal includes _BOOST_, a World Bank
methodology
[https://datacatalog.worldbank.org/dataset/ukraine-boost-platform]-inspired
analytical tool that enables students, data scientists, and
researchers to conduct complex analyses like datamining.
