Increasingly discussed in public administration, transparency can enrich the quality of democracy, improve accountability, enable greater social inclusion and decrease corruption. Thus, reflecting on the effectiveness of transparency reported by the federation entities and the elements that can substantiate it becomes increasingly relevant. In this context, this study aimed to verify if there is a correlation between national indexes of transparency disclosed by the control agencies (Comptroller General of the Union - CGU and Federal Prosecutor - MPF) and economic indicators (of Brazilian states). To achieve the study, a regression analysis was performed between the cited indicators (transparency and economic), in order to verify if they explain those. Additionally, the Spearman correlation coefficient test was performed to ratify the regression findings. The results show that the economic indicators (DTP / RCL and DCL / RCL) do not explain the transparency indicators presented by the states (National Transparency Index - INT-MPF and the Brazil Transparent Scale Index - EBT-CGU), since the models of regression applied are not significant. Spearman's order correlation tests ratified the results obtained. Therefore, there is no evidence that the variables are correlated.
