OECD-led activities in Moldova under EUWI+ East: a brief overview by Alexander Martusevich
4th meeting of the Coordination Committee of the National Policy Dialogue on integrated water resources management in the Republic of Moldova
(the 26th NPD meeting under the EUWI in Moldova)
June 15, 2018
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) was established in 1985 as a forum for cooperation among banking regulatory authorities. It aims to improve banking supervision worldwide by enhancing regulatory understanding and quality. The BCBS issues standards and recommendations on banking laws and regulations. Its members include central banks and regulators from major countries.
This document provides an update on water finance and green bonds. It discusses the growth of the green bond market over the past decade, with over $525 billion issued. It also summarizes that over $170 billion of green bonds have been issued for water-related projects. The document then analyzes recent bond issuances related to water finance, including a sustainability bond issued by the European Investment Bank. It concludes by discussing tools to measure the impact of bond portfolios.
The document discusses New Zealand's plans to develop a national freight network to improve freight efficiency and reduce business costs. It notes that improving freight productivity and lowering transport costs will boost the economy and make exports more competitive. The New Zealand Transport Agency's approach involves consulting freight stakeholders to better understand supply chains and help businesses reduce costs. A freight plan is proposed to provide long-term guidance on infrastructure, land use, and regulations to enable better decision making across sectors. Key questions address how to improve freight efficiency, adapt to shipping changes, develop smarter regulations, and coordinate land use and transport planning as freight volumes grow.
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.

From the medium term fiscal frameworkto ministries' ceilingsJean-Marc Lepain
This document discusses the methodology for constructing medium-term expenditure ceilings and allocating budgets to ministries in Brunei. It begins by explaining the purpose of medium-term ceilings, which is to link fiscal and sectoral policies, prioritize spending, and conduct fiscal adjustments in an orderly manner. It then covers the methodology, including setting aggregate and sectoral fiscal targets, disaggregating budgets to ministries, and addressing issues like time horizons, coverage, and managing uncertainty. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding baselines versus ceilings and the demands this system places on both ministries and the Ministry of Finance.

Fiscal rules and independent fiscal councilsADEMU_Project
This document discusses improving fiscal rules and independent fiscal councils. It proposes:
1. Making fiscal rules more symmetric by compensating for past deviations from targets and updating recommendations based on economic changes.
2. Strengthening enforcement of fiscal rules by expanding conditionality of EU funds to all member states.
3. Encouraging economic resilience by linking fiscal and macroeconomic policies.
4. Simplifying complex fiscal rules through independent judgment, with escape clauses triggered by independent institutions based on economic circumstances.
The document also reviews the proliferation of independent fiscal councils and rules globally and their empirical impact on fiscal outcomes. Design features are important to councils' effectiveness.
The document discusses revenue management policies for petroleum resources, outlining the challenges of volatile revenues and need for fiscal rules. It examines country examples that establish sovereign wealth funds to save revenue for future generations and stabilize spending during price fluctuations. Critical elements for successful revenue systems include aligning funds with development goals, addressing price volatility, and focusing on non-resource fiscal balances.

1) The document discusses the upcoming 2023 Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement and its importance for guiding climate action and ambition in the next decade.
2) It argues the Global Stocktake should provide clear guidance for updating NDCs by 2025, recommend systemic transformations in sectors like energy and transport, and establish follow up processes for 2024 and beyond.
3) The key elements of success are equity, science-based recommendations for mitigation, adaptation and finance that will help keep the 1.5°C goal within reach if implemented.
This document summarizes the main reform challenges for countries as identified by SIGMA monitoring results. It finds that while countries each have their own pathways, there are some common challenges across the region. The most challenging reforms are those ensuring accountability of the public administration and providing high-quality services to citizens and businesses. Setting coherent objectives and linking strategic planning to budgets are ongoing issues. Professionalization of civil servants, improving transparency and accountability, and strengthening fiscal and financial management also require additional focus.

Key findings, lessons learned and next steps for TrackFinTrackFin
The TrackFin initiative aims to develop a standardized methodology for tracking financing for water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) at the national level. Pilot projects in Brazil, Ghana, and Morocco found that comprehensive WASH financing data could be collected using this process. The methodology needs refinement based on lessons learned. Next steps include expanding the number of participating countries, providing training and support, and coordinating TrackFin with other global monitoring tools to better understand financing needs for achieving sector goals.
CCXG Global Forum September 2017, BGA Accounting for diverse NDCs: Unpacking ...OECD Environment
This document discusses accounting principles and guidance for tracking progress towards Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It outlines key principles such as promoting transparency, accuracy and avoiding double counting. It also examines how accounting guidance could clarify and implement these principles for different types of NDCs. Examples given include guidance to avoid double counting of emissions reductions from harvested wood products and clarifying how countries can account for natural disturbances. The document also discusses drawing from existing approaches under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol, and introducing an "accounting balance" to clearly track progress towards NDCs.
This document outlines the purpose, concepts, methodology, design, and issues related to implementing medium-term expenditure ceilings. It discusses how ceilings can provide understanding of government costs over multiple years, separate baseline estimates from new policy impacts, and ensure realistic budgeting. The methodology section covers approaches for allocating funds across sectors and designing time horizons. Key issues addressed are scope, inflation adjustments, and managing uncertainty. Different country examples illustrate variations in coverage, specificity, time horizons, and frequency of updates.
The document discusses transparency and oversight of political party financing. It finds that financial contributions to political parties are not fully transparent and are still vulnerable to political and foreign influence. Additionally, financial reports from political parties are not always publicly available or submitted on time according to regulations.

This document summarizes developments in sovereign green bond markets. It discusses approaches to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into public debt management. Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.

3. Main message
• The EU fiscal framework is probably still resilient to flagrant
departures from sound policy but there is a solid case for
doing more at the national level
• We need to build consensus around national operational
fiscal rules to underpin MTBFs
• Striking the right balance between simplicity, soundness,
transparency and flexibility
• F0rward-looking, aiming at a target consistent with fiscal
sustainability
• Overseen by national independent fiscal institutions
3
5. MTBF = Dying goldfish?
1. Attempts to kill many birds with one stone by
the COM
desired fiscal trajectory blurred by a mist of multiple
rules, exemptions and interpretations
expenditure ceilings no longer among CSR
2. Increased uncertainty following crisis
increased aversion towards automaticity in policy
formulation
more myopia and improvisation in budgeting
5
10. Step 1:
Is there a chance to revive the fish?
1. We have a solid legal backing
• “Six-Pack” – numerical fiscal rules & MTBFs
• “Fiscal Compact”
• Pre-existing national legislation
2. We have a sound argument
• A lot more work on and experience with
fiscal rules 10
11. Evidence
Nerlich and Reuter (2013): "We find strong support that numerical
fiscal rules help to improve the primary balance, and that the
budgetary impact can be further strengthened when supported by
independent fiscal councils and an effective medium-term
budgeting framework."
11
13. Step 2:
Place the fish into cool water
• Try to use maximum space in existing
framework to promote a proper MTBF
• Publish no-policy-change scenarios
• Call for three-year budgets to be filled with substance
• Use Fiscal Compact and related policy statements to
define a trajectory
• Use other national rules (if available) to promote
convergence to a target
13
15. Step 3:
Remove dirt from the goldfish
15
1. Fix cyclical adjustment methodology
(disaggregated approach)
2. Define one-off and temporary measures
3. Confront short-termism: introduce long-term
arguments into short-term analysis
important elements of a good rule-based
MTBF
17. Step 4:
Open gill covers
17
• Propose a national operational rule
• Build on familiar, tested concepts
• Based on some structural indicator linked to long-term
sustainability analysis
• Expressed as a series of nominal expenditure ceilings
• Allow for automatic stabilizers and strictly defined
exemptions
• Evaluate past and update ceilings to keep on track to
meet the target
19. Step 5:
Place fish where there is water
circulation
19
• Test the proposal in expert fora
• Build consensus among specialist politicians
20. Summary
• The idea of a MTBF is having a rough time but there are
very good arguments to keep it alive
• There is a lot we can do without changing the framework
• National operational rules are a key missing element and we
should aim to fill this gap
20
