  3. Public Debt Debt incurred and accumulated by governments over time Debt burden borne by the public (taxpayers) Debt of the public: Not debt of the government or any particular person

  9. Monetary Policy Reaction Function *[Actual GDP – Potential GDP] *[Actual inflation - Target ] • Monetary policy responds to deviations of GDP from potential and inflation from target. • Weights (, )applied on gaps determine how strong interest rate adjusts to output and inflation deviations. RP14D Equilibrium rate Inflation gap Inflation Output gap • 14-day repurchase rate is monetary policy instrument.

  10. Monetary Policy Reaction Function % Monetary policy behaves broadly in line with policy rule.

  11. Fiscal Policy Reaction Function TAX *{[Debt(t) – Target] - [Debt(t-1) – Target(t-1)]} *[Debt(t) – Target] • Tax rates (VAT, personal income tax) are fiscal policy instruments. • Fiscal policy responds to deviations of debt (Debt/GDP) from debt target, in terms of direction and speed. • Tax-smoothing parameters (, ) determine the rate at which tax rate changes.

  13. Coordination between Monetary and Fiscal Policy Monetary Policy Fiscal Policy RP14D TAX, G Price Stability Fiscal Sustainability Macroeconomic Stability Sustainable Growth

  14. Coordination between Monetary and Fiscal Policy (VAT and RP14D) % % % Debt stays above target. Monetary policy tighter and VAT rate increases from 7% to 11%.

  15. Coordination between Monetary and Fiscal Policy (VAT and RP14D) % % Core Inflation Real GDP Growth Larger impact on inflation.

  16. Coordination between Monetary and Fiscal Policy (Personal Income Tax and RP14D) % % % Debt reduced to target. Monetary policy stance remains easy, while personal income tax rate doubles.

  17. Coordination between Monetary and Fiscal Policy (Personal Income Tax and RP14D) % % Real GDP Growth Core Inflation Stronger effect on real GDP growth.

  18. Sustainable Growth • Coordination between Monetary and Fiscal Policy Coordination Cooperation Consistency Macroeconomic Policy Commitment Clarity Economic Stability

  20. Scenarios for Long-term Projections

  21. Public Debt % of GDP Peak 65.7% in 2005 Peak 60.9% in 2005

  22. Interest Payments : Total Expenditure % Peak 13.6%in 2007 Peak 12%in 2007

  23. Debt Services : Total Expenditure % Peak 16.5%in 2007 Peak 14.9%in 2007

  24. Public Debt In the past 20 years and in the next 30 years % of GDP 60.9% 2005 52.3% 1987 40.8% 2006 35.8% 1987

  25. Debt Service and Interest Payments In the past 30 years and in the next 30 years % of Total Expenditure 24.7% 1987 14.9% 2007 17% 1988 12% 2007

  26. Economy reaches potentialin medium term Low interest rateenvironment Slower economic growth? Higher interest rates? Fiscal Sustainability

  27. Fiscal Sustainability • Increase VAT rate back to 10%and introduce other tax reforms. • Fiscal consolidation to accommodate private sector recovery. • Reform the public sector and keep personnel budget growth below 5%. • Debt management strategy should be in line with bond market development plans. • Closer coordination between government and state enterprises in debt management plans. • Increase efficiency in budgeting e.g. multi-year budgeting plan.
