- Abstract
This study examines the impact of fiscal transparency on governance and corruption within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with a specific focus on Egypt's standing compared to its regional counterparts. Utilizing data from the Open Budget Survey and the Bayesian Corruption Index, alongside a review of fiscal policies and economic performance metrics, the research highlights the nuanced role of fiscal transparency in combating corruption and fostering effective governance. Findings indicate that higher levels of budgetary transparency correlate with reduced perceptions of corruption, suggesting the critical importance of transparent fiscal practices for governance improvement. The study also explores the relationship between fiscal policies, economic performance, and investment, underlining the significance of transparency in enhancing economic outcomes. This research contributes to the broader scholarly discourse on fiscal governance by providing empirical evidence of the benefits of transparency within the challenging context of the MENA region.
