The information available on the finances and operations
of state enterprises has sometimes been criticised for its
lack of transparency. I would disagree, since these enterprises
are exceptionally open in their reporting of finances and
operations in their annual reports. I have never managed
to find comparable information about those traffic infrastructures
or official activities which are paid for out of tax funds.
Yet since the question with these is, after all, about spending
taxpayers’ money and not the level of customer charges,
as is the case with air transport, there is cause for greater
transparency in their case, too.
