(Open Budget Index Score)
The Malaysia Open Budget Index (MyOBI) assessment measures state budget transparency through the availability and quality of data in four key budget documents: the Executive Budget Proposal (EBP), Enacted Budget (EB), Year-End Report (YER), and Audit Report (AR). A budget document is considered publicly available if members of the public can access the document free of charge from the internet.
