This report highlights transparency in the public administration’s compliance with the legal deadline for payments to suppliers, a key element for government accountability. While most autonomous communities respect the thirty-day limit, some exceed it, revealing asymmetries in regional administrative efficiency and creating competitive disadvantages for small businesses. The detailed publication of the Average Payment Period for each autonomous and local entity enables citizens and markets to assess the solvency and management of public funds. This data openness facilitates comparative analysis, identifying seasonal and structural patterns that affect the liquidity of the private business sector. The relevance to open data lies in the fact that these official indicators constitute critical public information about economic health. Having this detailed and verifiable information fosters a fairer economy and incentivizes administrations to optimize their payment processes, demonstrating how fiscal transparency drives tangible improvements in the business environment.
