Fiscal Responsibility Framework in Croatia : Lessons from the Past, Rules for the Future

World Bank (Washington, DC, 2011-07)

The Croatian Parliament enacted the Fiscal Responsibility Law (FRL) in November 2010. The law is designed to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability, fiscal discipline, and transparency, which have so far not been successfully enforced in previous legislation. The purpose of this note is to (i) review efforts to enhance fiscal management and stability in Croatia; (ii) present relevant international experience; and (iii) make recommendations for improving the FRL. The key recommendations stemming from the review of the law are the following: a) the temporary fiscal rule that the authorities plan first is appropriate. It calls for expenditure-based consolidation with clear annual spending reduction targets because revenue generation cannot be counted on to balance the budget over the medium term. The rule should be in place until the general government balance is reached because it would help reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio; b) setting up a legally and effectively independent authority to transparently monitor compliance with all elements of the fiscal responsibility framework, especially the fiscal rule, the three-year budget plan, and fiscal forecasts, is highly recommended; c) if the fiscal rule is to be effective, it should be supported by meaningful and enforceable sanctions; and d) also, the FRL should bind not only the current government and parliament but also future ones. Thus, as some other countries have done, the authorities could have considered enacting the FRL as an organic law with a two-thirds majority.
Belarus Public Expenditure Review : Enhancing Public Services in Times of Austerity

World Bank (Washington, Dc, 2013-04-18)

This report is the second volume of the programmatic Public Expenditure Review (PER) in Belarus. In 2010 the Ministry of Finance requested that the Bank provide sequenced and targeted advice on the fiscal reform options across priority areas of the budget. Responding to this request, a programmatic PER was agreed upon. The first volume was delivered in November 2011 and focused on providing policy options for a sustainable pension system, better targeted social assistance and rationalization of energy and agricultural subsidies. The objective of this volume is to identify reform opportunities to enhance the quality of key public services in a fiscally constrained environment. Specifically, the second PER will analyze three key areas of the budget: intergovernmental fiscal relations and public spending in the education and health sectors. These three areas were chosen because they are significant from a fiscal perspective. More than half of government spending is channeled through sub-national governments, while education and health spending together account for a quarter of government spending (largely at the sub-national level). Beyond their fiscal importance, enhancing the quality and efficiency of spending in these sectors is critical for improving living standards and human capital in Belarus. However, since public finances are expected to remain tight for some years to come, expenditures, even in priority sectors such as health and education, will remain constrained. Therefore, the focus of this report is on the productivity of public spending. The primary thrust is to enhance the allocated and operational efficiency of resources to allow for improved quality of services and social outcomes while containing overall costs. The report also examines the impact of Belarus changing demographic profile, which will have a significant and lasting impact on demand for both health and education services. The report has four chapters. The first chapter reviews recent macro-economic and fiscal developments, and in particular the impact of the macro-economic crises on public finances and its implications for fiscal policy choices going forward. The second chapter examines intergovernmental fiscal relations and the fiscal incentives they create for sub-national governments. The third chapter looks at health sector outcomes and expenditures to identify opportunities for improved spending efficiency and sustainable health care financing. The fourth chapter is focused on resource allocation and utilization in the education sector to provide options for improved efficiency and effectiveness of education spending.
The Great Crisis and Fiscal Institutions in Eastern and Central Europe and Central Asia

Sanchez, Luis Alvaro; Barbone, Luca; Islam, Roumeen (2012-03-19)

This paper examines fiscal outcomes in Eastern and Central European countries before and during the global crisis of 2008-2010. These outcomes are evaluated in the context of overall changes in fiscal institutions and global market conditions. Eastern and Central European countries situations improved dramatically in the pre-crisis period as tax revenues boomed, and fiscal institutions were reformed. Expenditures increased quite significantly in real terms for some of the countries in the pre-crisis era so that when tax revenues collapsed in the wake of the crisis, the countries were left with large deficits. Institutional reform helped countries manage their fiscal situations better, but the crisis also exposed shortcomings of the status quo. In the post-crisis period, fiscal institutions aimed at promoting fiscal discipline are being strengthened. Governments will also need to take a closer look at the sustainability of current expenditure patterns, particularly the strong emphasis on social expenditures.
