CONCLUSION""; ""References""This paper evaluates whether debt relief and grants can boost social expenditures in lowincome countries. It finds that declines in debt-service help raise social expenditures, but no relationship between grants and social expenditures. Moreover, since the mid-1980s, lowincome countries have managed to fully insulate social expenditures from the effects of budgetary tightening. The magnitude of the impact of these effects on social expenditures, however, is dwarfed by the resources needed to enable these countries to reach the Millennium Development Goals.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/180Debt reliefDeveloping countriesSocial securityDeveloping countriesBudget planning and preparationimfBudget SystemsimfBudgetimfBudgeting & financial managementimfBudgetingimfEducation spendingimfExpenditureimfExpenditures, PublicimfHealth care spendingimfHealth economicsimfHealthimfHealth: GeneralimfNational BudgetimfNational Government Expenditures and EducationimfNational Government Expenditures and HealthimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfGuyanaimfDebt reliefSocial securityBudget planning and preparationBudget SystemsBudgetBudgeting & financial managementBudgetingEducation spendingExpenditureExpenditures, PublicHealth care spendingHealth economicsHealthHealth: GeneralNational BudgetNational Government Expenditures and EducationNational Government Expenditures and HealthNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceThomas Alun1098448International Monetary Fund.Policy Development and Review Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910826311403321Do Debt-Service Savings and Grants Boost Social Expenditures4232261UNINA
