IMF November 2010 Fiscal Monitor Seminar
Fiscal Exit: From Strategy to Implementation
Fiscal Policy is beginning a gradual shift from supporting demand to reducing deficits, but at different speeds depending on country circumstances. Deficits are falling this year in most emerging market and low-income countries, mostly because of improved cyclical conditions. Deficits are also falling in several advanced economies, in some cases because market pressures have dictated an early fiscal exit. Tightening will become broader and driven by discretionary measures in both advanced and emerging economies in 2011. However, public debt ratios are still rising rapidly in advanced economies, and fiscal risks remain elevated. Further clarity on exit plans and reforms to address long-term fiscal costs would help.
