This note looks further into the underlying causes and the actions that will be required to address them.

The note begins by providing a brief overview of the scale and composition of Kosovo's capital spending program (section B) and the institutional arrangements for public investment management (section C). It then goes on to look at the causes of the fall in the execution of the capital spending budget that occurred in 2006 (section D), and to consider in more detail issues relating to capital investment identification and development (section E), budget preparation and financing (section F), and capital budget execution, procurement and monitoring (section G). The final section summarizes the key conclusions and next steps actions (section H).
