The State Tax Service and the Pension Fund topped the anti-rating for the quality of open data
Open data in Ukraine is gradually being restored after the start of the full-scale war
26 March 2025
Only 44% of the Open Data Quality Rating in Ukraine currently meets the principles guaranteed by law: openness by default, timeliness and clarity, accessibility and usability, and comparability. State registry data, which should be public by law, remain only partially open. The Verkhovna Rada, the State Judicial Administration, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the most diligent in publishing data. Meanwhile, the State Tax Service and the Pension Fund topped the anti-rating for poor data transparency.
Opendatabot analyzed how the quality of government data has changed over the years.

Less than half of Ukraine’s open data meets international standards. Currently, the Open Data Quality Rating stands at 44.21%, showing a slight improvement compared to last year. However, this is still lower than before the full-scale invasion when the transparency score was 57.6%.
Russia’s invasion set Ukraine back six years in terms of public information transparency and accessibility. In the first days of the war, the government shut down state registries to protect information from the enemy.
After a pause, some government agencies—data administrators—have resumed publishing datasets as they did before the full-scale war.
The improvement in data quality and the increase in the Open Data Quality Rating was influenced by the publication of key state data sets:
- The National Agency for Civil Service started publishing a list of civil service vacancies.
- The Ministry of Justice improved datasets for ASVP and ERB, though ERB is still not published.
- The Ministry of Education and Science began publishing the Register of Educational Activity Entities.
- NAZK resumed publishing declarations via API.
Negative trends: the State Judicial Administration stopped publishing court statistics on the open data portal, though the data is still available on its website.
The State Tax Service has the lowest transparency score (0.2%). Since the full-scale war began, it ceased publishing all datasets except VAT refunds, and even that is aggregated over time.
The most closed institutions remain: Pension Fund, Motor (Transport) Insurance Bureau, Ministry of Social Policy, Ministry of Economy.
Most transparent institutions: the Verkhovna Rada, the State Judicial Administration, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs most consistently follow open data laws and publish their information.
