Fiscal Transparency Lacking in Almost All Regional Governments, Study Shows

(Beijing) — Only two Chinese provincial-level governments satisfy the minimum requirements for fiscal openness, underscoring the longstanding problem of corruption within local administrations.

A report on fiscal transparency, released last week, showed that only the Ningxia region and Hunan province scored above 60 out of 100 on the study's fiscal-transparency scorecard this year. Jiangsu had the lowest score: 23.71.
