| Summary: | This Public Expenditure Review (PER),
prepared jointly by the Government of Vietnam and donors,
examines the country's public expenditure policy, and
management, and, proposes ways to improve the results of its
public spending program. Cross-cutting issues examined, are
fiscal sustainability and transparency, expenditure
management processes, and fiscal decentralization, analyzing
public spending on agriculture, health, education, and
transport from the perspective of growth, poverty reduction,
and gender equity. The report identifies the following areas
requiring action: reversing the Government's declining
revenue share in GDP, and developing a medium-term fiscal
outlook; improving budgetary data, and increasing the
transparency of data and information; ensuring an effective
process for prioritizing public expenditures; enhancing
"pro-poor" bias of public expenditures; and,
assessing where services can be provided by the private
sector, to reduce the budgetary burden. Considering these
issues, the Government can build on the extensive
consultative process, already developed for this PER, and,
in addition to its National Assembly, and local governments,
consultations with civil society, and media representatives
could also be considered by the Government. |
