December 2, 2024
Washington, D.C. – The Office of Data Transparency at the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service is excited to announce the successful completion of a multi-year initiative to migrate all of the bureau’s publicly available data to the FiscalData.Treasury.gov (Fiscal Data) platform. This achievement marks a significant step forward in fulfilling the vision set forth in The Future of Federal Financial Management (FM Vision) and underscores the bureau’s commitment to revolutionizing financial data accessibility for the public.
Fiscal Data serves as the central hub for comprehensive federal financial information, offering datasets that span essential topics such as the U.S. budget, national debt, and economic trends. By integrating these datasets into a single, user-friendly platform, the bureau aims to empower citizens, policymakers, researchers, journalists, and businesses with the insights needed to make informed decisions and foster greater public understanding of federal financial activities.
"Trust begins with transparency," said Justin Marsico, Chief Data Officer. "FiscalData.Treasury.gov ensures that every citizen can access the financial insights that drive accountability and progress."
This collective effort has resulted in a platform offering 51 datasets and 174 data tables, setting a new benchmark for how financial data is shared, with a focus on accuracy, detail, and the responsible use of taxpayer funds.
Key Milestones and Impacts:
- Empowering the Public: The platform is designed with the public in mind, enabling easy access to critical financial data that supports accountability and informed decision-making.
- Enhancing Data Quality and Availability: By partnering with data owners, the Office of Data Transparency has ensured the information presented is comprehensive and continuously updated to reflect the latest developments in federal financial management.
- Driving Innovation: The migration process involved pioneering techniques that streamlined data collection and presentation, paving the way for future advancements and features to meet evolving user needs.
This milestone is not the conclusion but rather a foundation for further innovation. The Fiscal Service remains committed to exploring new features and enhancements, including data visualization tools and interactive user experiences, to make the data even more accessible and engaging.
The bureau invites users to continue visiting Fiscal Data and experience firsthand the value of transparent, reliable financial information. In doing so, the platform contributes to an informed public, strengthens trust, and exemplifies responsible stewardship of government resources.
