Moving to a more flexible fiscal policy, however, may serve Tanzania better. The "diamond rule" proposed in this paper incorporates a permanent hard ceiling on debt and annual benchmark limits on NDF, expenditure growth, and nonconcessional external financing. This rule would provide flexibility for countercyclical policy and help define the fiscal space for infrastructure spending that is consistent with longrun fiscal sustainability. An illustrative simulation shows that Tanzania has considerable fiscal space for development spending. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/09/244. 606 $aEconomic development$zTanzania 606 $aEconomics$zTanzania 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aEconomics 676 $a332 700 $aKim$b Daehaeng$01661595 701 $aSaito$b Mika$f1967-$01753568 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812447603321 996 $aA rule-based medium-term fiscal policy framework for Tanzania$94191602 997 $aUNINA
