Summary: | The report assesses the performance of
Thailand's fiscal institutions, in responding to the
pressures of the economic crisis, and its likely performance
in meeting the challenges of the new Constitution, and in
modernizing the public sector. It builds on the analysis
conducted to design the Government's Public Sector
Management Reform Program, and lays the foundation for
reform options. By examining policy responses, identifying
institutional shortcomings, and reviewing challenges for
fiscal policy and administration during the economic crisis,
lessons are drawn from its experience, focusing attention on
selective issues, such as human resource management, and tax
policy reforms, while serving as a practical compendium of
reforms currently underway, and suggesting priorities for
further reform. The country's public expenditures and
development outcomes are examined, with special attention on
expenditure planning and fiscal risk management, identifying
the foundation for fiscal decentralization, and its reform strategy. |
