| Summary: | The Ecuador public finance review (PFR)
series responded to a request from the Ecuadorian Ministry
of Economy and Finance (MEF) to assess the efficiency and
effectiveness of public spending. The PFR series offers a
combination of analysis, capacity building, and options for
reform in selected areas and sectors of the budget to
achieve efficiency gains and fiscal savings, while improving
(or at least preserving) equity. The PFR-phase two
complements and deepens the analysis and capacity building
initiated under phase one. Phase two also includes an
analysis of the efficiency of public spending in education.
As in phase one, phase two was accompanied by a number of
technical assistances related to the areas covered by the
study, including: an Ecuador specific forecasting model,
BOOST database for Ecuador, public financial management,
impacts of tax on capital outflows, public wage bill
forecast and simulation, and efficiency of spending. |
