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. 2012-03-19T10:13:02Z 2012-03-19T10:13:02Z 2011-06-08 http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/main?menuPK=64187510&pagePK=64193027&piPK=64187937&theSitePK=523679&menuPK=64187510&searchMenuPK=64187283&siteName=WDS&entityID=000356161_20110801010543 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/2767 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank Economic & Sector Work :: Public Expenditure Review Europe and Central Asia Europe Eastern Europe Commonwealth of Independent States Asia Russian Federation
