Hintergrund

Peru's PFM system is sound and at a basic level conforms reasonably well with international best practices. However, there are a number of weaknesses and major challenges that still demand attention in order to improve fiscal discipline, resource allocation and public service delivery. The reform actions undertaken in the past to address some of these issues have produced important results, but have also been, in general, narrowly focused and poorly coordinated and sequenced.

Ziele

The objective of the PFM Reform Program or PMC is to make a significant contribution towards the advancement of PFM in Peru, and in particular the consolidation of aggregate fiscal discipline, the improvement of strategic allocation of resources and the attainment of a more efficient provision of public goods and services to the population. It aims to achieve this by providing the existing PFM reform effort with three important new elements: a) a common and explicit medium term vision for PFM, together with its corresponding strategic objectives- b) a management structure to promote coordination, cohesion and sequencing between all PFM institutions and reform actions being undertaken and c) specific funding to support this endeavor.
