Weather shocks. Scarce water. Globalization. Security threats. Policymakers today confront a number of developments that threaten to burden public budgets for decades to come, or bankrupt some entirely. This book argues that governments need to make policy changes now to take account of the potential fiscal consequences of these developments. After describing how, if at all, analysts, national governments, and international organizations currently address these long-term issues, the book stresses the vital need for a multipronged approach, involving strengthened analyses, greater attention to long-term issues and risk factors in budgeting, and institutional reforms that address the myopic biases of politicians and the public.BooksFiscal policyAgingEconomic aspectsClimatic changesEconomic aspectsAgingimfBudget planning and preparationimfBudget SystemsimfBudgetimfBudgeting & financial managementimfBudgetingimfClimate changeimfDebt ManagementimfDebtimfDebts, PublicimfDemographic Economics: GeneralimfDemographyimfEconomics of the ElderlyimfEconomics of the HandicappedimfEnvironmental EconomicsimfExpenditureimfExpenditures, PublicimfFiscal PolicyimfFiscal policyimfMacroeconomicsimfNational BudgetimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfNon-labor Market DiscriminationimfPopulation & demographyimfPopulation agingimfPopulation and demographicsimfPopulationimfPublic debtimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfPublic financial management (PFM)imfSovereign DebtimfUnited StatesimfFiscal policy.AgingEconomic aspects.Climatic changesEconomic aspects.AgingBudget planning and preparationBudget SystemsBudgetBudgeting & financial managementBudgetingClimate changeDebt ManagementDebtDebts, PublicDemographic Economics: GeneralDemographyEconomics of the ElderlyEconomics of the HandicappedEnvironmental EconomicsExpenditureExpenditures, PublicFiscal PolicyFiscal policyMacroeconomicsNational BudgetNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralNon-labor Market DiscriminationPopulation & demographyPopulation agingPopulation and demographicsPopulationPublic debtPublic finance & taxationPublic FinancePublic financial management (PFM)Sovereign Debt339.5/2Heller Peter153472International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910972777703321Who Will Pay?
