Strategic report. Indicators Imants Tiesnieks EU Funds Strategy Department
Reasons for a review of indicators • The indicators usedin the programmes donot fully demonstrate the impact of funds in a broader sense. • The current targets of the macroeconomic and impact indicators are not achievable/valid • Requests to demonstrate the efforts for the economic stabilisation • Ensuring a link between strategic objectives and the result indicators • Transposition of the EC Core indicators: commentary of by the EC on the recent developments of SFC (to be discussed when possible)
Broader impact of funds needs to be presented Definition – impact indicators refer to the consequences of the programme beyond the immediate effects. In the programmes at present: • Only selected priorities/measures have impact indicators For example, education, entrepreneurship, transport, environment • More quantitative impact is demonstrated, less quality change For example, number of Phd’s is mentioned, not their competitiveness On transport priority, the impact could be also represented by the number of traffic accidents • It is possible also to interpret the current indicators broader
2. Macroeconomic indicators and the economic crisis • Macroeconomic indicators: • GDP and employment forecasts are outdated • The limits of the use of Macroeconomic indicators • Significant structural transformations of the economy and uncertainty about the development of the baseline forecasts • Macroeconomic forecasting is based on broad economic categories and larger sectors, not taking into account the content of the programmes
Proposals on additional indicators • The elaboration of impact indicators: 1.1. Ministries to design 1-3 indicators for each sector, according to: • Financial relevance: Indicators are chosen primarily according to the financial size of the programmes • Thematic relevance: a) Providing better coverage of measures b) Including indicators for innovative measures, pilot projects and indicators for decision taking 1.2. Type of indicators: both quantitative and qualitative change is important when aiming at objective, i.e.,various analytical comparisons
Proposals on additional indicators 2. Macroeconomic indicators: – MoFwill prepare a proposal on update of macroeconomic indicators
