The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, which was signed into law on December 4, 2015, provided $281 billion in contract authority for surface transportation programs through 2020. But projected spending from the Highway Trust Fund exceeds its revenues. Under current law, CBO estimates that the Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund will be able to meet obligations through 2021 and the Transit Account through 2020.
Some proposals involve establishing a new entity to finance infrastructure investments. However, even if such an entity is not officially a federal agency, its activity might be considered part of the federal budget.
Recent budgeting developments - John KIM, KoreaOECD Governance
The 2018 budget for South Korea is expected to increase by 7% to approximately KRW 430 trillion, which is seen as an expansionary stance given a GDP growth forecast of 4.5% and 10% increase in tax revenues. The new government, inaugurated in May, plans to increase spending nominally by 7% per year over its term focused on job creation and social programs, which may require deficit financing as mandatory expenditures are projected to exceed 50% of the budget. However, some spending has been pared down through cost-benefit analysis and legislative assembly review. Politics remain volatile after a change in government and North Korea's nuclear threats have impacted Korea's relations with China and the US. The legislative assembly also seeks to
This document provides additional details on the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) long-term projections for Social Security. It finds that Social Security tax revenues will be insufficient to cover scheduled benefits starting in 2020, resulting in the trust funds being exhausted by 2038. Under an alternative scenario with lower revenue and higher costs, the trust funds would be exhausted by 2023. The document also examines how benefits would be reduced if outlays had to be limited to tax revenues.

The budget document outlines the government's planned revenues, expenditures, and highlights for the upcoming fiscal year. Revenues will come from taxes, foreign grants and loans, and domestic borrowing. Funds will be allocated to recurrent operational costs as well as capital expenditures. Key highlights include plans to achieve 8.5% GDP growth and create 500,000 jobs, increase pensions and social allowances, expand access to drinking water and electricity, reduce taxes on raw materials, construct roads and hydropower projects, and upgrade Tribhuvan International Airport.
The Highway Trust Fund is projected to face shortfalls in 2015 and 2016 as spending is estimated to exceed revenues. Congress has several options to address the shortfall, including reducing spending, increasing gas taxes, or providing transfers from other funds. Any new financing entities established by Congress to fund infrastructure would be considered part of the federal budget if they receive federal funds and are subject to federal control. Under federal budgeting rules, loan and loan guarantee programs are accounted for based on their estimated net cost to the government at the time loans are issued.

It describes how the Five Year Plan provides overall direction for policies and programs. Ministries create working groups including experts and NGOs to analyze existing policies and recommend financial outlays. The Planning Commission approves budgets which are then finalized and passed by Parliament. Ministries monitor spending and outcomes. Audits are conducted and budgets are revised based on actual expenditures. The Ministry of Finance publishes budget summaries for public information. Gender budget statements track spending targeted towards women.
This document summarizes a presentation by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) about federal grants to state and local governments for infrastructure investment. It provides data on federal nondefense investment in physical capital, education, and research from 1962 to 2017. It also shows that while the federal government accounts for the majority of transportation and water infrastructure spending, state and local governments select projects within federal rules. Research estimates that state and local governments substitute around 0.2 to 1.3 of their own spending for each additional dollar of federal highway grants. The CBO has published several reports on topics related to federal investment.

Since 1975, CBO has produced nonpartisan analyses of budgetary and economic issues to support the Congressional budget process. Each year, the agency’s economists and budget analysts produce dozens of reports and hundreds of cost estimates for proposed legislation. This presentation makes key points related to CBO’s cost estimates for proposed legislation and how they relate to budget enforcement procedures.
The Congressional Budget Office document analyzes data on participation in and contributions to tax-favored retirement plans in 2006. It finds that over half of U.S. workers participated in some type of retirement plan that year. Participation increased from 2003 to 2006 for traditional and Roth IRAs as well as employment-based plans. The average retirement plan contribution also rose after adjusting for inflation. The document provides details on plan participation rates and average contributions for different types of retirement plans.
The document discusses IT reform in the public sector. It notes that the recession has reduced ICT investment in the public sector. Countries are looking for new ways to continue started projects, with a focus on e-administration and e-services through short-term ROI projects. Access to the internet, especially in rural areas, is a key focus. EU funding is crucial for success but utilizing these funds requires significant effort. Political instability delays progress in some countries.
Canadian Government continues to add to deficit and Debt paul young cpa, cga
This presentation looks at the deficit for Canada. The presentation looks at both taxation and spending.

The Vietnamese government has encouraged wind power development in recent years. However, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has now suspended appraisal of new wind power projects due to constraints on the national power grid. Over 6,000 MW of proposed new wind projects were pending appraisal. The suspension will allow Vietnam to complete its 2021-2030 national electricity plan without overloading the grid. Local governments must now review site planning for approved wind farms, without submitting new projects for consideration until further notice.
The document provides additional details on CBO's 2010 long-term projections for Social Security. Key findings include:
1) Social Security outlays are projected to exceed tax revenues starting in 2016 and the trust funds are estimated to be exhausted by 2039 under current law.
2) Uncertainty in the projections is substantial, with an 80% range of uncertainty shown for some measures.
3) Scheduled benefits are calculated under current law regardless of trust fund balances, while payable benefits would be reduced if balances are depleted.
4) The distribution of lifetime taxes paid and benefits received varies significantly based on factors like birth year and lifetime earnings.

VIETNAM – SOLAR POWER – LATEST NEWS ON FEED IN TARIFF AND FIT-ELIGIBILITY – W...Dr. Oliver Massmann
The document summarizes the latest information on Vietnam's solar power feed-in tariff (FiT2) program:
1. The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has submitted a draft decision to the Prime Minister outlining the FiT2 eligibility and pricing. Only 7 existing solar power projects totaling 320 MW would qualify for FiT2 based on being "under construction" before November 22, 2019.
2. The draft maintains the previous FiT2 prices of 7.06 US cents/kWh for ground-mounted solar and 7.69 US cents/kWh for floating solar. For rooftop solar, the price would be 8.38 US cents/kWh, lower
The Export-Import Bank of India provides financing mechanisms to support renewable energy projects, including solar projects, in developing countries. It has extended lines of credit totaling $95.52 million for completed and in-progress solar projects in countries in Africa. Exim Bank can further support solar energy development under the International Solar Alliance by preparing project reports, structuring projects, and facilitating knowledge sharing between stakeholders in ISA member countries. The bank utilizes various financing options like lines of credit, buyers' credit, and overseas investment finance to promote solar projects and Indian exports abroad.
The document discusses New York State's economic development programs and proposes a new program called Excelsior Jobs Program. It notes that the Empire Zones program, which provided tax subsidies, was not targeted towards business attraction and job creation. The proposed Excelsior program would provide tax credits for job creation, R&D, and investments with a focus on high-wage jobs and strategic industries. It outlines industry targets and average wages for different economic regions in New York. The conclusion is that Excelsior would generate more economic growth than past programs by focusing on predictable incentives for growth sectors.

Session 3 - Presentation by OECD, Takayoshi KatoOECD Environment
Massive investment will be needed to achieve Georgia's climate change and green growth targets between 2017-2030. The major sources of green finance currently available in Georgia include the central and municipal governments, development finance institutions, commercial banks, and equity funds. However, further opportunities exist in mobilizing microfinance institutions, developing green bonds, and establishing risk mitigation instruments. Key issues around scaling up green finance in Georgia relate to the risk-return profiles of green investments, access to low-cost long-term finance, and non-economic barriers like information gaps and capacity constraints.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

STREETONOMICS: Exploring the Uncharted Territories of Informal Markets throug...sameer shah

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
