Summary: | Fiscal sustainability analysis (FSA) is
an important component of macroeconomic analysis for many
developing countries. To further enhance understanding of
fiscal policy and the constraints faced by policymakers, the
authors develop a toolkit for FSA in middle-income countries
which builds on previous work in this area and on new
developments in dealing with uncertainty. The FSA toolkit
includes an Excel-based FSA tool and a technical manual
accompanying it. The FSA tool is standardized and simple,
but at the same time flexible enough to allow for
user-defined country-specifics. This manual provides
step-by-step technical instructions for running the FSA tool
and includes mathematical appendices and a glossary. |
