Policy framework for budget norms implementation (Laos: June 2009)Jean-Marc Lepain
This document outlines a policy framework for implementing a budget norm system and system of intergovernmental transfers in Vietnam. It discusses (1) developing budget norms to rationally distribute resources across provinces in an equitable manner aligned with development priorities, (2) establishing unconditional transfers based on needs to reduce spending disparities, and (3) providing conditional grants for additional needs. A multi-phase implementation strategy is proposed to gradually introduce the new system and avoid reductions to any province's budget.
The Ministry of Mining in Mongolia has the mission of developing responsible and transparent mining practices through policies that encourage environmentally friendly and socially acceptable operations. The mining sector generated over 2 trillion MNT in tax revenue for the state budget in 2012, accounting for about 41.3% of total revenues. Investment and production in the mining sector has increased substantially between 2008-2012. Coal exploration and exports have also increased over this period. The government aims to improve the regulatory environment for mining and support the development of downstream industries.
The EU is Lebanon's largest trading partner, but political and economic reforms outlined in the EU-Lebanon Action Plan saw slow progress in 2009 due to elections and negotiations to form a government. The EU will provide €150 million from 2011-2013 to support Lebanon's political and economic reforms, as well as recovery efforts, through programs focused on stability, social development, and reinvigorating the economy. Progress on implementing reforms remains important for deepening EU-Lebanon relations and trade agreements.

VIETNAM - FUEL MARKETS AND FUEL AUCTIONS - IMPACT ON ECONOMY Dr. Oliver Massmann
The recently announced fuel auction in Vietnam aims to increase fuel supply and stabilize prices in the short term by auctioning off 100 million liters of gasoline. However, it does not fully resolve the underlying fuel shortage issue. To mitigate the economic impact of rising fuel prices, the Vietnamese government is considering short-term solutions like reducing fuel taxes and using the petroleum price stabilization fund to support fuel prices for businesses. However, these are not long-term solutions and the government needs to avoid interfering too much in prices as Vietnam follows a market economy model.
Budgeting in Bulgaria - Emil NURGALIEV, BulgariaOECD Governance
This presentation was made by Emil NURGALIEV, Ministry of Finance, Bulgaria, at the 15th Annual Meeting of OECD-CESEE Senior Budget Officials held in Minsk, Belarus, on 4-5 July 2019
The European Commission issued new guidance to encourage structural reforms and investment while respecting the Stability and Growth Pact. The guidance aims to: 1) Encourage effective implementation of structural reforms; 2) Promote investment, specifically through the new European Fund for Strategic Investments; and 3) Take better account of economic cycles in individual member states. The guidance clarifies how structural reforms and national contributions to the European investment fund will be considered in assessing countries' fiscal positions and compliance with the Pact, but does not change any existing rules. It is intended to provide predictability and flexibility while maintaining the Pact's credibility in upholding fiscal responsibility.
The document provides an overview of UK spending reviews and the budgeting process. It discusses how spending reviews are conducted every few years to set multi-year budgets for government departments. The last two major spending reviews (SR10 and SR13) aimed to reduce spending deficits and implement austerity measures, with most departments receiving budget cuts of 10-30% over the spending review periods. Key aspects of the spending review process include setting the overall expenditure envelope, providing guidance to departments, bilateral negotiations, and finalizing departmental allocations. Independent bodies provide analysis to inform the reviews.
Greece has committed to implementing several fiscal and structural reforms in consultation with European institutions. This includes adopting a supplementary 2015 budget and 2016-19 fiscal strategy targeting primary surpluses of 3.5% of GDP annually. Key measures include VAT reform to raise 1% of GDP, pension reforms to save 1/4-1/2% of GDP in 2015 and 1% annually thereafter, establishing an autonomous tax agency, and public administration reforms including wage bill ceilings. Greece also committed to healthcare reforms like drug price cuts and collecting clawbacks, as well as anti-corruption measures and strengthening tax administration.
1. This document outlines the economic policy conditions that Portugal must meet in order to receive financial assistance from the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism.
2. Portugal must reduce its budget deficit each year from 2011 to 2013, bring its debt-to-GDP ratio downward after 2013, and maintain fiscal consolidation to achieve a balanced budget.
3. To meet these targets, Portugal will implement expenditure reductions and revenue increases detailed in the document. Expenditure cuts will come from reducing the public sector wage bill, pensions, healthcare costs, education costs, and investment. Revenue increases will come from limiting tax expenditures and closing corporate tax loopholes. Compliance will be monitored quarterly.
The document outlines Greece's policy commitments and actions to be taken in consultation with European institutions, including adopting legislation and reforms in several key areas:
1. Adopting a supplementary 2015 budget and 2016-19 fiscal strategy with measures to achieve primary surpluses of 3.5% of GDP through 2019, including VAT reforms, tax measures, pension reforms, and reducing the military spending ceiling.
2. Implementing comprehensive pension reforms through 2022 to eliminate early retirement pathways, increase health contributions, and phase out exemptions to achieve permanent savings of 1/4-1/2% of GDP in 2015 and 1% of GDP annually from 2016 onward.
3. Enacting public administration reforms such as

Section I details the preventive and corrective arms of the pact. For the preventive arm, it defines the medium-term budgetary objective that each country must meet and maintain, including taking into account factors like public debt levels and future costs of an aging population. Section I also describes the excessive deficit procedure that can be triggered if a country does not meet fiscal rules.
Section II provides guidelines for the format and content of Stability and Convergence Programs that countries must submit, including required tables and economic forecasts. The annexes include a model structure and specific tables
The document discusses public finance statistics in Nigeria, which refer to data on government revenue and expenditure at the federal, state, and local levels. It outlines the key sources and methods used to compile these statistics. The major sources are the annual reports of the Accountants-General of the Federation and states, as well as budget estimates. However, delays in preparing and publishing the annual reports means the National Bureau of Statistics often relies on budget estimates or unaudited accounts, which can lack uniformity and differ from actual revenues and expenditures.
The Eurogroup statement discusses the draft budgetary plans for 2015 submitted by euro area member states. It welcomes the fiscal coordination process established by the Two-Pack regulation. While fiscal consolidation has reduced deficits, high debt levels remain a concern. The statement notes some member states are at risk of not complying with Stability and Growth Pact obligations and calls on them to implement additional measures to ensure compliance. It acknowledges reform progress but calls for continued determined implementation of structural reforms.

OECD, 10th Meeting of CESEE Senior Budget Officials - Bojan Paunovic, MontenegroOECD Governance
The document summarizes PFM reforms in Montenegro. It discusses how Montenegro implemented reforms following a 2008 PEFA assessment, including establishing a Supreme Audit Institution, developing public procurement systems, and introducing program budgeting. A new budget code was adopted in 2014 that introduced fiscal rules targeting surpluses, deficits below 3% of GDP, and debt below 60% of GDP. Future focus areas include further developing medium-term budget frameworks, implementing program and performance budgeting, regulating the public sector wage bill, and continuing fiscal consolidation efforts to reach a balanced budget.
The budget highlights key changes to direct and indirect taxes. Direct taxes see no change in individual tax slabs but increased exemptions. The corporate tax rate is reduced to 25% for new manufacturing companies. Indirect taxes increase the service tax rate to 14% and introduce a 2% Swachh Bharat cess. Excise duty is increased to 12.5% to offset education cess exemptions. GST is scheduled for implementation on April 1, 2016.

3) Coupled payments totaling 12% of funds will support sectors like beef, dairy, sheep, and goats.
4) Rural development programs will be administered at national and regional levels, continuing support for traditional sectors.
5) The reforms are expected to hurt less favored areas and mountain pastures while benefiting intensive farms in lowland regions. Extensive livestock may

The Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme in the UK aims to reduce carbon emissions by 2020. Phase 2 of the scheme begins in 2014 with different eligibility rules and increased allowance prices. Large organizations must report emissions annually and buy allowances to offset emissions, with the goal of decreasing allowance needs through emissions reductions. Phase 2 may see allowances auctioned or traded at higher prices.

Although the European Union had legislated in the area of energy policy for many years, the concept of introducing a mandatory and comprehensive European energy policy was for a long time not approved. With the Treaty of Lisbon this changed. The Treaty includes legal solidarity in matters of energy supply and gives the EU the right to change energy policy within the EU.
Following the adoption of the Kyoto protocol, the EU set out in implementing the greenhouse gas reductions goals. Given the flagship initiative at the time of Europe 2020, the climate and energy package that was proposed in 2007 and adopted in 2009 took the form of the 20 20 20 by 2020 goals. The package is a set of binding legislation to ensure the EU meets its climate and energy targets by the year 2020. It includes three key targets:
* 20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions (from 1990 levels)
* 20% of EU energy from renewables
* 20% improvement in energy efficiency
The document summarizes the current use and structure of EU regional funds, outlines the process and timeline for developing the future EU regional policy strategy, and presents initial positions on the future of the policy. The main funds are the ERDF, ESF, and Cohesion Fund, which are allocated based on GDP per capita. Key debates around the future policy focus on improving use of local resources, concentrating on priorities like innovation and climate change, and simplifying management. Positions varied but most saw a need for the policy to remain balanced across regions while addressing budget constraints.
Italy. Macroeconomic policy. The Letta Cabinet in its first two monthstelosaes
The Letta Cabinet took some initial measures in its first two months, including suspending real estate taxes and postponing a VAT increase. It made limited changes to labor reforms and allocated funds to reduce taxes for jobs. However, structural reforms were missing in areas like welfare, public administration, and reducing sovereign debt. The cabinet began a constitutional reform process and proposed eliminating provincial governments and public funding for political parties, but did not agree on voting system reforms. While Italy's excessive deficit procedure was closed, this did not provide significant new fiscal flexibility or funds for tax cuts.
