Book Synopsis Budget Consolidation by : Mr.Douglas Laxton
Download or read book Budget Consolidation written by Mr.Douglas Laxton and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper evaluates the costs and benefits of fiscal consolidation using simulations based on the IMFs global DSGE model GIMF. Over the longer run, well-targeted permanent reductions in budget deficits lead to a considerable increase in both the growth rate and the level of output. The gains may be enhanced by shifting some of the tax burden from incomes to consumption. In the short run, credibility plays a crucial role in determining the size of initial output loses. Global current account imbalances would be significantly reduced if budget consolidation was larger in countries with current account deficits.
Book Synopsis Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management by : Mr.Jack Diamond
Download or read book Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management written by Mr.Jack Diamond and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.
Book Synopsis Fiscal Consolidation and the Cost of Credit by : Ms.Senay Agca
Download or read book Fiscal Consolidation and the Cost of Credit written by Ms.Senay Agca and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine how the cost of corporate credit varies around fiscal consolidations aimed at reducing government debt. Using a new dataset on fiscal consolidations and syndicated corporate loan data, we find that loan spreads increase with fiscal consolidations, especially for small firms, domestic firms, and for firms with limited alternative financing sources. These adverse effects are mitigated substantially if consolidations are large, and can be avoided if consolidations are also accompanied with more adaptable macroeconomic policies and implemented by a stable government. These findings suggest that lenders price the short-term recessionary effects in loans but large consolidations can reduce or undo the increase in spreads, especially under favorable country conditions, by signaling credibility and creating expansionary expectations.
Book Synopsis A New Action-based Dataset of Fiscal Consolidation in Latin America and the Caribbean by : Mr.Antonio David
Download or read book A New Action-based Dataset of Fiscal Consolidation in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Mr.Antonio David and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a new database of fiscal consolidations for 14 Latin American and Caribbean economies during 1989-2016. We focus on discretionary changes in taxes and government spending primarily motivated by a desire to reduce the budget deficit and long-term fiscal health and not by a response to prospective economic conditions. To identify the motivation and budgetary impact of the fiscal policy changes, we examine contemporaneous policy documents, including Budgets, central bank reports, and IMF and OECD reports. The resulting series can be used to estimate the macroeconomic effects of fiscal consolidation for these economies
Book Synopsis The Challenges of Fiscal Consolidation and Debt Reduction in the Caribbean by : Charles Amo Yartey
Download or read book The Challenges of Fiscal Consolidation and Debt Reduction in the Caribbean written by Charles Amo Yartey and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-07-08 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines debt dynamics in the Caribbean and discusses policy options for reducing the high debt levels. Based on empirical studies of factors underlying global large debt reduction episodes, important policy lessons are drawn for the Caribbean. The analysis shows that major debt reductions are associated with strong growth and decisive and lasting fiscal consolidation efforts. Since growth in the current environment is virtually nonexistent, significant fiscal consolidation is inevitable in the region. Better control of the public wage bill, increasing public sector efficiency and tackling transfers are the obvious targets to reduce spending. On the revenue side, there is ample room to reduce tax expenditures, eliminate distortions while broadening the tax base. Fiscal consolidation needs to be complemented by a comprehensive debt reduction strategy including tax policy reforms and structural reforms to boost competiveness.
Book Synopsis Governments and Promised Fiscal Consolidations by : Mr.Sanjeev Gupta
Download or read book Governments and Promised Fiscal Consolidations written by Mr.Sanjeev Gupta and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyses the causes and consequences of fiscal consolidation promise gaps, defined as the distance between planned fiscal adjustments and actual consolidations. Using 74 consolidation episodes derived from the narrative approach in 17 advanced economies during 1978 – 2015, the paper shows that promise gaps were sizeable (about 0.3 percent of GDP per year, or 1.1 percent of GDP during an average fiscal adjustment episode). Both economic and political factors explain the gaps: for example, greater electoral proximity, stronger political cohesion and higher accountability were all associated with smaller promise gaps. Finally, governments which delivered on their fiscal consolidation plans were rewarded by financial markets and not penalized by voters.
Book Synopsis What Sustains Fiscal Consolidations in Emerging Market Countries? by : Mr.Emanuele Baldacci
Download or read book What Sustains Fiscal Consolidations in Emerging Market Countries? written by Mr.Emanuele Baldacci and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the factors affecting the persistence of fiscal consolidation in 25 emerging market countries during 1980-2001. It proposes a new approach for defining spells of fiscal consolidation. The results indicate that the probability of ending a fiscal adjustment is affected by the legacy of previous fiscal failures, the size of the deficit, the composition of spending, and level of total revenues. There is also some evidence that the initial debt stock, exchange rate developments, inflation, and the unemployment rate have an impact on the persistence of adjustments.

Book Synopsis Smart Fiscal Consolidation by : Galina Kolev
Download or read book Smart Fiscal Consolidation written by Galina Kolev and published by Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies. This book was released on 2013-05-10 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PDF downloadable for free from http://martenscentre.eu/publications/smart-fiscal-consolidation-strategy-achieving-sustainable-public-finances-and-growth Due to high government debt levels and the dangers of self-defeating austerity, smart fiscal consolidation measures are needed that foster economic growth. A thorough review of the relevant literature provides many useful insights. To regain credibility, a clearly communicated broad reform program (including structural reforms) is required. Targeting mainly public expenditures, rather than revenues, raises the chances of expansionary effects. The timing of consolidation should focus on adjustment in structural terms to leave room for automatic stabilisers. The main part of the study evaluates the impact of individual consolidation and fiscal reform measures on consolidation success, on economic growth (in the long and short term), and on social fairness.

Book Synopsis Consolidation Policies in Federal States by : Dietmar Braun
Download or read book Consolidation Policies in Federal States written by Dietmar Braun and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Financial Crisis has led to a renewed attention for the management of public debt and deficits of advanced and developing industrial states. To successfully deal with such problems of public finances raises particular concerns in federal states where fiscal competencies are split between two levels of government. This book offers comparative in-depth knowledge of political struggles related to fiscal consolidation policies in eleven federal states since the 1990s, including the Global Financial Crisis and its aftermath. It identifies conditions that lead to "robust" solutions that can both commit federal actors to prudent fiscal policy-making and avoid conflicts between federal actors that cause federal instability. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of political economy and comparative politics in general and comparative federalism and EU Politics in particular.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Fiscal Consolidations on Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Francisco Arizala
Download or read book The Impact of Fiscal Consolidations on Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Francisco Arizala and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the output effects of changes in public expenditure and revenue in sub-Saharan African countries during 1990–2016. Fiscal multipliers in sub-Saharan Africa are somewhat smaller than those in advanced and emerging economies. The effect of changes in fiscal policy on output depends on the composition: cutting public investment has a larger effect on output than cutting public consumption or raising revenue. Episodes of fiscal consolidation have short- and medium-term output effects, but here, too, composition matters: fiscal consolidations based on reducing public investment have the largest effect on output, while fiscal consolidations based on revenue mobilization are less harmful than those based on public investment cuts. These findings suggest that the negative impact on growth can be mitigated through the design of fiscal adjustment and the accompanying policy environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global financial crisis and economic recession spurred governments to boost fiscal expenditures to stimulate economic growth and to provide capital injections to support their financial sectors. The surge in fiscal spending, combined with a loss of revenue, has caused government deficit spending to rise sharply when measured as a share of GDP and increased the overall level of public debt. Budget deficits likely will stabilize, but are not expected to fall appreciably for some time. Contents of this report: Overview and Background; Austerity Measures in Europe; Impact on Gov¿t.

This book was released on with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government of India spends about 15% of India’s GDP, which translated into a whopping expenditure budget of Rs. 48.2 trillion for 2024-25, including Rs. 11.11 trillion on capital expenditures, another 11.6 trillion on interest payments, more than Rs. 4.2 trillion on subsidies like food and fertilisers, over Rs. 5 trillion on centrally sponsored programmes in the states and many other expenditures. The budget expenditures impact everyone, individuals, households, workers, businesses and everything we care about–growth, inflation, welfare and governance of the country. This book explains everything relating to the expenditures programmes of the government. The government’s tax proposals generate all-round interest. Companies worry about tax on their goods, profits, equities and bonds. Households and individuals look at the budget speech proposals how their salaries, savings and capital gains are going to be affected. The wider investment community wants to figure out the government's disinvestment, privatisation, dividends and other non-tax receipts. All the tax, non-tax, disinvestment and privatisation proposals and performance of the government have been thoroughly analysed and commented upon in the book. The economists, media, banks, foreign portfolio investors, investment managers, brokerages and everyone else with a direct or indirect stake in India’s economy, savings, credit, financial markets and any other macroeconomic aspect watch very carefully, in addition to expenditure and tax proposals, the proposals of the budgets impacting macroeconomy. This book presents an in-depth analysis of the macro-economic performance of the Indian economy and the implications of budget proposals. The book is organised in four parts and 40 chapters. The first part has all the big budget numbers with highlights, the second part brings out the results and outcomes of Budget 2022-23, the third part takes a serious look at the implementation of Budget 2023-24 and the fourth part critically analyses the implications of the proposals in Budget 2024-25 presented on 23 July. All the three budgets have also been rated on a sound framework taking into account 2022-23 actuals, 2023-24 revised estimates and 2024-25 budget estimates.
