SPB Newsfeed: Learn More on What is New and Crucial in Medium-term Budgeting

In line with our efforts to help strengthen capacities in designing and implementing the framework for medium-term macro-fiscal policy-making, we will engage beneficiaries in learning about Recent Developments and Issues in Medium-term Budgeting.

On May 18-20, we’ll deliver a workshop on that topic designed for mid to senior level public finance officials who actively deal with budget formulation, strategic planning and budget decision-making. It will discuss a range of issues related to using Medium-Term Budget Frameworks (MTBF), including:  recent developments and good practices in MTBFs; country experiences and challenges in implementing MTBFs; relevance of fiscal rules to MTBFs; scrutiny of MTBFs by Fiscal Councils; associated measures required of line ministries; and integration of EU funds within MTBFs. The workshop aims to help participants better understand objectives and features of medium-term budgeting, identify challenges and bottlenecks in introducing sustainable and credible MTBFs, and share experience with colleagues from South East Europe in addressing these challenges.

This learning and networking activity will be delivered as part of the Strategic Planning and Budgeting (SPB) project, funded by the European Union. Further information and the application form can be found here.
