Network on Fiscal Relations across Levels of Government Purpose • Fiscal relations between levels of government are a high priority on the political agenda of most OECD and non OECD countries. • Sub-central governments represent on average, 22% of public revenues, 31% of public spending and 66% of public investment in OECD countries, and their spending amounts to 15% of GDP. • The Fiscal Network: • Provides member countries with the analytical and statistical underpinnings of intergovernmental fiscal relations and sub-national public finance; • Is a high level, multidisciplinary policy dialogue platform, between policy makers from different ministries (Finance, Interior, Budget, etc.); • Contributes to overcoming the often compartmentalised and sometimes even contradictory policy perspectives in national capitals.
