The average compliance in active advertising of the entities of the Public Institutional State Sector evaluated this year is 47.1%

The Council of Transparency and Good Governance (CTBG) has just published the reports of the evaluation carried out this year to measure the level of compliance with the obligations of active advertising of 153 entities of the state institutional public sector. This category, which does not include ministries, includes autonomous bodies, public business entities, state corporations, public foundations, public law entities, non-transferable public universities and mutual social security partners.

These 153 entities they had been analyzed by the CTBG for the first time in 2025. The Council has now reviewed the degree of implementation of the recommendations made to them in that evaluation: a total of 2,916 specific indications to help them comply with the Transparency Act. In addition, it has recalculated its Mandatory Information Compliance Index (ICIO), after verifying whether they publish in their web portals all the information to which they are obliged: the regulations that apply to them, their budgets, the contracts they sign, who are their top managers, what is their training and experience and their remuneration, among other information.

The report added with the main conclusions on the evaluation of all entities and the 153 individual reports They are available at this link.

With regard to 2025, the average ICIO has increased by 8.20 percentage points (21.07%), reaching 47.1%. This is a noteworthy improvement, which shows that there are entities that attach greater importance to compliance with transparency obligations and that have followed the Council’s recommendations for improvement, with increases in compliance of up to 68.7 percentage points. But this advance is not enough and, it continues to leave out an excessively large number of obligated subjects who still do not comply with what the law requires for more than a decade.

In this regard, the President of the Council, Concepción Campos, recalls that active advertising “constitutes the first and most basic step of transparency: it is the information that the Administration must offer to citizens on its own initiative, without the need for anyone to request it. Its relevance lies precisely in the fact that it makes transparency the general rule and not the exception, strengthening institutional trust and facilitating the social control of public action from the first moment”.

Among the entities evaluated this year, have implemented all the recommendations made and achieve 100% compliance Official State Gazette and Palencia High Speed (which already obtained the highest score in 2025); and a compliance above 99% mutual ones MAST and Mutualia, Murcia High Speed and Zaragoza High Speed 2002. The Council values the commitment and effort of these entities to transparency.

If it is analyzed by type of entity, the management entities and the common services of Social Security, as well as the mutuals of work accidents and professional diseases collaborating with Social Security are the entities that present a better performance in the publication of mandatory contents. They are followed, at a distance, by commercial companies and state agencies, autonomous bodies and public business bodies.

The Council reminds those responsible for public bodies that have not fully complied with the mandates of active transparency contained in the LTAIBG that these are binding legal obligations that have been in force since 2014 and urges them to comply with the law without delay, Providing them again with a series of specific recommendations to facilitate the task.

“We value the effort made by many entities, but globally it is still insufficient”, said Campos, who continues to demand the possibility that the Council has access to sanctioning power to enforce the law and More means to be able to intensify their work in support of compliance. “Active advertising is key, as the importance of having accurate information and offering security to citizens on the functioning of the entities that make up the institutional public sector grows”, he underlined.

The entire evaluation has been carried out with the Council’s own resources using the methodology MESTA, developed jointly with the defunct State Agency for the Evaluation of Public Policies and Quality of Services (AEVAL).
