Canary Islands Government Asset and Interests Declarations

Overview

The Canary Islands government has announced the publication of asset and interests declarations from top public officials for the period between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. This move follows new transparency laws requiring high-ranking officials to disclose their financial holdings, income, and any changes in their assets.

Officials were mandated to submit these declarations within three months of taking office or changing their financial situations. The information, which includes property values and debts, will be published in the official bulletin, with personal details kept private to safeguard security.

This transparency effort aims to promote accountability and public trust in government officials. The process includes standardized certifications confirmed by an official electronic seal, ensuring accuracy and compliance with legal standards.

Annual Publication

• The government will annually publish comprehensive summaries of property holdings and debts of officials who took office or left between July 2024 and June 2025, by September 30 each year.

Broader Objectives

• This initiative aligns with broader efforts to boost transparency within regional politics.
• It aims to give residents clearer insight into the financial backgrounds of their public officials.
