OECD Economic Outlook - Christian Kastrop, OECDOECD Governance
The global economy is stuck in a low-growth trap characterized by subdued investment, trade, employment, wage, and productivity growth. Productivity growth has slowed and inequality has risen across advanced economies. Comprehensive and collective action is needed from governments to boost growth through increased public investment, structural reforms, and reducing the burden on monetary policy alone. Failure to escape the low-growth trap risks breaking promises made to citizens regarding opportunities for youth, adequate incomes for older populations, and returns for investors.
Performance budgeting practices - Ivor Beazley, World BankOECD Governance
This document summarizes challenges that countries face in implementing effective performance budgeting systems and proposes recommendations for a next generation approach. Some of the key challenges identified are setting clear objectives, producing too many performance metrics, and overestimating implementation capacities. The document recommends that countries focus on strategic priorities, program managers as users, and take a long-term incremental approach to build experience and capacity over multiple reform efforts.

Performance budgeting in the OECD: Highlights from the OECD 2011/2012 PB surv...OECD Governance
- The survey summarizes results from the 2011/2012 OECD survey on performance budgeting practices in 31 OECD countries and Russia.
- It finds that while performance information is widely used, there is significant variation between countries and performance information has a looser link to funding decisions than in the past. It is used more for management than budgeting.
- Spending reviews are becoming more common, used by about half of OECD countries. Line ministries are primarily responsible for setting targets. Poor performance faces increased monitoring but light consequences.
Aligning the centre and line ministries - Mark Bussow, United StatesOECD Governance
The document discusses creating alignment between the federal government's central offices and agencies. It notes the diversity among agencies in terms of size, mission, activities, and autonomy. The central offices, like OMB, aim to promote alignment through quarterly performance reporting, priority goal-setting, strategic reviews, and regular meetings. Achieving the right balance between centralized direction and decentralized execution is key. The governance structure involves central leadership and coordination mechanisms between OMB and agency leaders.
OECD Principles on Budgetary Governance - Anne Keller, OECDOECD Governance
This presentation was made by Anne Keller, OECD, at the 40th Annual Meeting of OECD Senior Budget Officials (SBO) held in Tallinn, Estonia, on 5-6 June 2019
The document discusses the development of a "Toolbox" of financial constructions for urban renewal projects in the Netherlands. It aims to provide clarity and overview of different financing options, standardize information, and encourage effective reuse. The Toolbox is currently in a testing phase, seeking suitable hosting websites and pilot projects. It is hoped that the Toolbox will serve as an inspiration for parties involved in urban renewal to select relevant options, potentially leading to new strategies or a management tool for the national government.
This document provides an overview of Reserve Data Analysis and their reserve study process. It discusses the key steps including component analysis, financial analysis, developing a funding strategy, and completing the reserve study report. It also explains different funding plan goals and principles, how to minimize contributions while being fiscally responsible, and common mistakes to avoid like relying on loans or deferring replacement projects. The overall summary is that Reserve Data Analysis provides thorough reserve studies and financial analyses to help associations develop adequate long-term funding plans.

Ensuring affordability, economic viability and fiscal sustainability - Duncan...OECD Governance
This presentation was made by Duncan Kernohan, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, at the 4th OECD Forum on Governance of Infrastructure held in Paris, on 17 April 2019
This document discusses bringing actuarial measures of defined benefit pensions into U.S. National Accounts according to new 2008 SNA guidelines. It presents results of implementing the new recording based on actuarial calculations rather than actual payments, including higher household saving and wealth levels. Key issues affecting comparability between countries are different discount rates and the choice of ABO vs. PBO approaches. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis may introduce imputed property income concepts not specified in 2008 SNA, risking international comparability.
Developments in performance budgeting - Andrew Blazey, OECD SecretariatOECD Governance

The document discusses developing a decision support tool to aid in selecting target countries for investment promotion. Currently, country selection is based on assumptions and intuition rather than scientific methods. The objectives are to 1) review literature on investment promotion, 2) design a computer-based tool for selecting countries, 3) implement the designed tool, and 4) validate and test the tool. Literature suggests investment decisions involve vast information and risk, so a decision support system could help investors by combining technologies to manage information and aid decision-making.

2009:Comments on ‘Privatisation – Cross Country Experienceseconsultbw
The document discusses privatization experiences globally and in Africa, specifically regarding banking privatization. It finds that privatization has generally had positive economic impacts but remains controversial. Banking privatization in Africa has faced mixed results but worked best when governments fully relinquished ownership and regulation was high quality. The global financial crisis did not significantly impact privatization in Africa as banks avoided major problems and there was no increased push for government ownership roles. Privatization is seen as continuing with a focus on improving regulations.
This presentation on the G20/OECD High-Level principles on Financial Consumer Protection and sectoral guarantee arrangements by Sebastian Schich addresses the role of guarantee arrangements to protect consumer assets in the financial service sector, such as pension and insurance claims and bank deposits.

This document discusses approaches to the budgeting process including the typical 4 phases of policy planning, formulation, execution, and auditing. It also covers the various sources of funding for social services like federal/state grants, community funds, fees, and insurance reimbursements. Finally, it examines different budgeting methods such as line-item, functional, program, and outcome-based budgeting as well as elements of effective grant writing.
This presentation discusses evaluative findings on Opportunities and Challenges from Working in Partnership. Partnerships among development actors are more prominent than ever and can have a tremendous impact on growth and development in general.

Session 3C: Country Reviews / Accountability Mechanisms (IHP+)
21-22 November 2011
This presentation provides an overview of SOURCE and its integration with countries. SOURCE is a digital platform managed by SIF that supports governments' infrastructure project preparation and development. The presentation discusses SOURCE's governance structure and growth since 2010. It also highlights case studies of SOURCE's integration and customization in countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, Peru, and Ukraine to meet their specific needs in areas like project management, information management, project assessment, and promotion/procurement. The presentation concludes with an overview of SOURCE's templates, approach to country integration, and measures taken for data security and sovereignty.
This document from the Department of Homeland Security discusses aging and failing critical infrastructure in the United States. It finds that while infrastructure age is a factor in failures, more important causes include insufficient funding for both initial construction and long-term maintenance. The funding gap is projected to grow significantly by 2040 without changes. The report recommends addressing this gap by updating laws and regulations, adopting innovative financing mechanisms, incentivizing risk mitigation and long-term planning, and investing funding more efficiently through improved collaboration and analysis.
This document outlines a proposal to conduct studies and activities to increase awareness, sharing of best practices, and capacity building around e-agriculture strategies in African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries. The proposal involves documenting current situations, policies, and guidelines through regional studies covering 8-12 countries total and desk research on other areas. It would also include producing regional online syntheses, a print document, and policy briefs. Follow-up actions are proposed to disseminate the results through conferences, workshops, discussion lists, and leaflets through collaboration with interested parties.
Getting more from Public Services - Jon BLÖNDAL, OECD (English)OECD Governance
Spending reviews are critical re-assessments of existing public expenditures and the policies they are based on in order to improve efficiency, effectiveness and affordability. They have become a standard tool for fiscal consolidation and freeing up funds in many OECD countries after the global economic crisis. The document outlines the rationale for spending reviews, implementation challenges, and provides examples from countries like Canada, the Netherlands, and Ireland.
This presentation by Sebastian Schich draws attention to a potentially fundamental flaw in the design of the European banking union, which is the incomplete harmonization of the underlying financial safety net.
It abstracts somewhat from the specific institutional aspects that currently figure prominently in the European safety net discussion in the financial press. According to one popular view, the European safety net requires, in addition to a common lender of last resort, three pillars, that is first, a common regulatory framework and a single supervisor, second a single bank restructuring fund and third, harmonised or unified deposit insurance. This view implies that the current banking union agenda is incomplete as only the first of the three pillars is in place. While the presentation agrees with the basic assessment that the banking union agenda is still incomplete, the approach taken places a sharp focus on the safety net functions rather than the institutions providing these functions, acknowledging however that both aspects are important. In particular, it argues that the modern definition of the financial safety net includes a guarantor of last resort function.
Moreover, as long as a common fiscal backstop for the European banking sector is missing, the guarantor-of-last-resort function remains a national issue. In fact, an analysis of data reveals that bank debt benefit from implicit guarantees and that the value of the guarantees reflect not only the weakness of the bank but also the strength of the sovereign perceived to be providing the guarantees. This observation is consistent with the view that the GOLR function is perceived as being provided by each sovereign to its domestic banks only. As a result, especially during periods of heightened market stress, banks in Europe face different funding conditions depending on where they are located.

The document discusses pay for performance programs in pharmacy. It describes how providers can be financially rewarded for achieving quality goals related to measures like adherence, safety of drug therapy, and reducing errors. It provides examples of potential performance measures for pharmacies, such as medication errors reported, clinical education activities, and interventions by clinical pharmacists. The document advocates linking compensation to measurable goals and outlines five essentials for effective pay for performance programs.
Output based financing by Cynthia Macharia GIZachapkenya
This document discusses output-based financing models that have been implemented in Kenya, Afghanistan, and the Philippines. It defines output-based financing as cash payments made after predefined results are attained and verified, with the goal of incentivizing performance and results. In Kenya, a voucher program increased access to reproductive health services for poor women. In Afghanistan, performance-based agreements between the Ministry of Health and NGOs led to improved quality of care. And in the Philippines, conditional cash transfers encouraged health-seeking behaviors and increased uptake of services. The key lessons are that output-based financing can improve quality, access, and focus health systems on outputs and outcomes through contracts and partnerships.
Pay-for-Performance and Distributional Effects in Tanzania: A Supply-side Ass...resyst
This document analyzes the distributional effects of a pay-for-performance (P4P) program in Tanzania. Initial results showed higher payouts going to higher socioeconomic status (SES) facilities, but this inequality decreased over time. The main contributors to initial unequal payouts were facility SES, level of care, baseline performance, and ownership. While there were no significant differences found, utilization effects like facility deliveries and antimalarial treatment during pregnancy seemed to increase more for lower SES facilities and dispensaries. The strongest utilization effects were seen for deliveries in lower SES facilities and dispensaries, and for antimalarial treatment in better resourced facilities.
Term paper presentation pay performance plan-Beximco Textile LtdAkhtar Hossain
The document summarizes a presentation on Beximco Textiles Ltd's pay for performance plan. It discusses Beximco's overview as one of South Asia's largest textile companies. It then outlines the objectives, features, staff, labor practices, and performance appraisal system of Beximco. Key findings note areas for improvement in the performance appraisal system, such as lack of modernization, unequal training, bias, and frustration of good performers. Recommendations include applying an honest and fair mixed-method appraisal approach.
The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans to lower-income countries with the goal of reducing poverty. It was established at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference and originally focused on post-World War 2 reconstruction but has since expanded its mission. The World Bank comprises five institutions that work to reduce poverty through activities like loans, grants, and training programs, while also facing some criticism over programs and influence.
Individual, group, and enterprise-wide incentive plans were discussed. Individual plans include piecework, differential piece rates, and standard hour plans. Group plans include team, gainsharing like Rucker, Scanlon, and Improshare plans. Enterprise plans include profit sharing, stock options, and employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs). The purpose of incentives is to motivate employees and increase productivity, morale, loyalty and company profits. Successful plans have desirable, achievable standards and a clear link between incentives and performance.
The document discusses different types of pay-for-performance plans including shop-floor incentives, sales force incentives, executive pay, and team-based pay. It outlines the importance of designing pay plans that support corporate objectives, are fair and equitable, and comply with laws. Different types of team-based pay plans like profit-sharing, gain-sharing, and employee stock ownership plans are described as ways to incentivize and reward employee performance.

OECD Principles on Budgetary Governance - Andrew Blazey, OECDOECD Governance
This document reports on the implementation of budgetary governance recommendations from the OECD Council. It finds that medium-term expenditure frameworks and fiscal rules have been widely applied. Notable improvements include accrual accounting and independent fiscal institutions. Spending reviews to examine efficiency and effectiveness are also common. Opportunities exist to further integrate cross-cutting goals like gender equality and sustainability. Future work should broaden the analysis of challenges and technologies supporting budget transparency and performance. Regular monitoring will continue to assess implementation progress.
Best Practices in Performance Budgeting - Ivor Beazley, OECDOECD Governance
This presentation was made by Ivor Beazley, OECD, at the 38th Annual Meeting of OECD Senior Budget Officials held in Lisbon, Portugal, on 1-2 June 2017
This document summarizes two policy documents: Program-for-Results Financing from the World Bank, and Consultative Guidelines for Sustainable Urban Development Cooperation from the European Commission.
The Program-for-Results Financing provides a new lending instrument to support government programs through results-based disbursements. The Consultative Guidelines provide a framework for sustainable urban development cooperation, focusing on issues like transport, water, and employment.
While both aim to advance development goals, the Program-for-Results Financing provides stronger implementation mechanisms and measurable targets, whereas the Consultative Guidelines lack implementation details and quantifiable targets.
Best practices for performance budgeting - Ivor BEAZLEY, OECDOECD Governance
The document outlines draft OECD best practices for performance budgeting. It discusses 8 key areas for consideration: 1) defining clear objectives, 2) linking budgets to strategic goals, 3) ensuring quality indicators, 4) supporting infrastructure, 5) addressing complex budget-policy relationships, 6) managing performance information, 7) balanced incentives, and 8) strengthening independent evaluation. The best practices are meant to distill lessons from OECD countries and offer guidance to countries updating or newly adopting performance budgeting approaches.
IFIs & fiscal transparency - Michal HORVATH, York UniversityOECD Governance
This document discusses independent fiscal institutions (IFIs) in the EU and their role in promoting fiscal transparency. It finds that while IFIs have increased transparency in some countries by improving forecasting and reducing information asymmetry, their effectiveness varies significantly. Some IFIs lack resources and interaction with governments, while others have had more visible impacts. For IFIs to be truly effective, governments need to provide sufficient funding, access to information, and respond constructively to IFI recommendations, though compliance is mixed among EU members. Overall IFIs and fiscal transparency are closely linked, and a government's support for a well-resourced IFI indicates its commitment to budget transparency.
Budget for Outcomes - Stefan Kiss, Slovak RepublicOECD Governance
The document summarizes Slovakia's spending review process and goals of increasing efficiency and value for money in public expenditures. Key points include:
- Spending reviews target specific sectors (education, health) or functions (IT, wages) and aim to cut inefficient spending and promote high-value programs.
- Reviews are led by the Ministry of Finance but involve analytical units within line ministries to supplement existing budgeting processes.
- Measures identified in reviews become part of budget negotiations and documentation and some are incorporated into the annual state budget. Outcome indicators track progress in priority areas.
Institutionalizing Performance Budgeting: Key Institutions and Actors - Roles...EUROsociAL II
This document discusses key aspects of institutionalizing performance budgeting. It covers:
1) The essential building blocks for developing performance informed budgeting, including establishing strategic goals and developing performance measures.
2) The roles of key institutions like central budget authorities and spending ministries, and different implementation strategies such as top-down vs bottom-up approaches.
3) Developing incentives to motivate improved performance, such as financial rewards and sanctions through the budget process, and increasing or decreasing managerial flexibility.

Paris, 30 June, 2023
Presentation by Elsa Pilichowski, Director for Public Governance, OECD.
The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

OECD Presentation "Financial reporting, sustainability information and assurance" by Peter Welch during the 5th Session during the 9th Meeting of the OECD Paris Collaborative on Green Budgeting held on 17 and 18 of April 2023 in Paris
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.

2. About the study…
Case studies of Australia, Estonia, France, Netherlands,
Poland, Russia and US
Consistent analytical framework and questionnaire to aid
comparison.
Mainly local consultants, with close personal involvement
in performance reforms
Analysis is preliminary!
Full report and detailed case studies will be available
with the next few months.

3. Areas of focus
Survey questions on:
Design of current system
Evolution and adaptation to particular challenges
Policymaker trust and use of data
Cases included a drill down on a comparable
policy area: secondary education
3
4. • PM, Presidency want to drive policy priorities down to the level of
budget decisions
• MOF wants to improve spending efficiency
• Parliament wants to increase transparency and accountability for
use of funds
High expectations and confused objectives contribute
to general disappointment with results of PB:
• Prime Minister’s Office or Presidential Administration
• Ministry of Economy
• Ministry of Finance
Institutional leadership and understanding of PB
varies widely
Need clear objectives for PB

6. PB needs both political and
bureaucratic support
Political champions give reforms visibility and
impetus
Mixed blessing to be identified with political patron
if they lose elections, or in polarized setting
Continuity in systems needs bureaucratic
institutionalization
Need to expect change and re-packaging
6
7. Don’t overload the annual
budget cycle
Countries with most experience have retreated
from making strong links between annual
budget and performance.
Basic common elements are strategic planning,
budget programs, annual performance plan and
performance report as annex to the budget
Rely on multi-annual processes to align
expenditure with political priorities and evaluate
program effectiveness, value for money etc.
7
8. Less is more when it comes
to performance reporting
Initial tendency to have many programs and
indicators
Ministers complain of information overload
Staff complain about workload and pointless
bureaucracy
Strong trend towards simplification of
programs and PIs
8
10. Once size does not fit all
Attempt to implement a comprehensive
approach contributes to resistance
Pointless bureaucracy?
Challenge of identifying meaningful indicators
that cover all activities
Possibility of a differentiated approach (e.g.
Netherlands)

11. Program managers main users
of performance info.
All country experts identified program managers
as most likely users
Some discussion of performance between CBA
and departments
Limited legislative interest in performance data,
and
Reversion to input information during fiscal crisis

13. Building culture of performance
is a long-term task
Case studies demonstrate that sustained efforts to
implement PB have gradually changed civil service
mindsets
But more effort needs to be devoted to building
capacity
Formal requirements for reviews are largely limited to
annual discussion with CBA
CBA needs to develop an effective challenge function
Can build data-driven reviews with agencies on a
more regular basis
14. Need to build analytical
capacity
Very varied capacity across ministries to
manage performance information
Under-investment in analytical skills
Information systems also require investment
Need to build an effective challenge function in
the CBA
14
15. Tentative conclusions
Quest for performance orientation continues despite
disappointments
Need for greater realism, budgeting remains political
PB needs to be integrated as part of overall
performance management system
Don’t overload the annual budget process
Case for differentiated approach to use of performance
data
Investments needed in skills, data and communications
