Each quarter all local and regional governments send financial information on budgets and spending to the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics. The data is then released as open data. However the data is released on an aggregated level.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openstate.eu\/en\/2016\/01\/nederlands-groningen-pionier-bij-het-vrijgeven-van-financien-op-detailniveau\/\" target=\"_blank\">province and municipality of Groningen<\/a> released their detailed openspending data. Access to this type of data not only helps municipalities to spend public funds more efficient but also helps council members to find budgets for alternative proposals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financial\u00a0open data<\/strong><br \/>\nThe detailed spending data is also re-usable in all sorts of applications that can keep track on municipal income and expenditure. Releasing financial detaildata of the municipalities of Dordrecht, Heerlen, Lelystad, Oirschot and Utrecht was carried about with support of the Dutch Interior Ministry. This year, more local and regional governments will start to unlock financial data, a commitment that is part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opengovpartnership.org\/country\/netherlands\/action-plan\" target=\"_blank\">Netherlands Open Government Action Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links to the detaildatat<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-inline\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/openspending.nl\/utrecht-gemeente\/Utrecht2014realisatielasten\/2014\/hoofdfunctie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Utrecht<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/openspending.nl\/dordrecht\/DordrechtQ4realisatilasten\/2015\/hoofdfunctie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dordrecht<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/openspending.nl\/oirschot\/Oirschot2015begrotingQ3lasten\/2015\/hoofdfunctie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Oirschot<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/openspending.nl\/lelystad\/Lelystadrealisatie2015lasten\/2015\/hoofdfunctie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lelystad<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/openspending.nl\/heerlen\/Heerlen2015Q3realas\/2015\/hoofdfunctie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Heerlen<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today the detailed income and expenditure of Dutch cities Dordrecht, Heerlen, Lelystad, Oirschot and Utrecht are\u00a0published online.
