| description |
Since 1991 the share of sub-national
outlays in total government spending has increased,
reflecting their active role in service delivery and greater
autonomy in policy-making and implementation. As a result,
sub-national economic policies have taken on an increasingly
important role in ensuring macroeconomic stability. The
rising share of sub-national finance, including sub-national
Governments (SNGs) debt as a share of general public debt
abundantly reflects this trend of greater devolution of
spending responsibilities, revenue - raising authority and
the capacity to incur debt. The growing importance of SNG
finances and the recognition that the trend can pose dangers
to macroeconomic stability have informed different
institutional responses to the difficulties of decentralized
decision-making, especially addressing the need to improve
policy coordination across levels of government and contain
sub-national borrowing. The purpose of this paper is to
articulate some issues in SNG borrowing arising from the
peculiarities of the Nigerian situation. To this end, the
paper is divided into four parts. Part one gives
introduction. Part two outlines the models of control of
sub-national borrowing across the developing and emerging
market countries. It also highlights Nigeria's efforts
in this regard. Part three outlines the structure of fiscal
federalism in Nigeria highlighting constitutional,
legislative, and administrative provisions for the sector,
revenue allocation, revenue - expenditure gap, while part
four dwells on the leading issues and challenges in SNG
borrowing in Nigeria. |
