| Summary: | The primary objective of the Public
Expenditure Review (PER) is to assist the Ministry of
Finance (MOF) in identifying opportunities for efficiency
gains in some key categories of government expenditure. In
this context, policy makers face two related fiscal
dilemmas. First, how can expenditure efficiency are
increased to provide public services with fewer resources?
Second, how can the fiscal space for key infrastructure
investments are increased to ensure an enabling environment
for long-term growth and diversification? To answer these
questions, this PER analyzes three closely interrelated
topics: a) aggregate fiscal discipline and overall public
expenditure management, b) public expenditures in transport
with specific focus on roads and railways, and c) public
employment and the wage bill of budget organizations. The
focus on these large expenditure segments of the Russian
Federation's budget was mandated by the MOF's
operational needs to identify efficiency gains in these
sectors and then to use the findings to extend such
exercises to other sectors. |
