Fiscal Monitor (IMF)

Fiscal Monitor – Taking Stock: A progress report on fiscal adjustment, published by IMF (09/2012). “With growth weakening in many parts of the world and downside risks on the rise, fiscal consolidation remains challenging. However, considerable progress has been made in strengthening fiscal accounts following their sharp deterioration in 2008-09. This issue of the Fiscal Monitor takes stock of this progress, focussing on its size, composition, and implications for employment and social equity.”
