Abstract	ABSTRACT World experience shows that public participation in the budget process, openness in the public sector are the necessary conditions for a proper economic strategy of the State. Financial openness, in the broadest sense, today represents an important feature of proper fiscal and monetary policy. In a narrow sense, it is more often associated with the openness of the budget process, especially at the local level. Financial openness contributes to the efficient collection and distribution of public resources. It expands the responsibility of governments, strengthens the trust of citizens, and prevents opportunities for corruption. This paper attempts to develop and test a compact methodology for the operational analysis of online information openness and transparency of the budget process at the local level. The developed methodology involves the use of two criteria: (1) the level of transparency of local budget and (2) an assessment of authority’s efforts in ensuring the transparency of local budgets. The basis of the methodology is expert assessments of the informational significance of particular elements of websites of local authorities in issues of local finance and budget. Based on expert assessments of the significance and actual availability of these information elements, we evaluate an integrated assessment of the information content of local authorities’ sites during 2020. The resulting assessment of the information content of the site with the local budget and finances data we interpret as the online openness and transparency of local budgets (Online Local Budget Index of Transparency - OLBIT). In addition, we evaluate what factors (financial, territiorial and demographic) affect the transparency level measured by OLBIT. KEY WORDS: budget openness, budget transparency, local budget, open budget, fiscal decentralization.
