Procyclicality of Financial Systems in Asia |
| Description: |
There are now increasing concerns about the need to upgrade public infrastructure, improve delivery of public services, and explore new options for partnering with the private sector. This book looks at ways of strengthening the efficiency of public investment and managing the fiscal risks of public-private partnerships. |
| Synopsis: |
The need to upgrade public infrastructure, improve the delivery of public services, and explore new options for partnering with the private sector is being increasingly recognized. While this has created important new business opportunities for the private sector, it has also given rise to new challenges for governments. Having sufficient 'fiscal space' for key public expenditure programs that support economic development, including public investment, is essential, even in the context of tight government budgets. However, public investment, like other spending, has to be carried out within a sustainable macroeconomic framework. It also has to be accompanied by efforts to strengthen the efficiency of such spending and to manage the significant fiscal risks that come from new options for delivering infrastructure services, including via greater private-sector participation.Based on the proceedings from a high-level international seminar for government officials, this book looks at options to strengthen the efficiency of public investment and manage fiscal risks from public-private partnerships, with important contributions from academics, practitioners and members of several international organizations. |
