Download or read book Chile Fiscal Transparency Evaluation written by International Monetary and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong fiscal institutions have contributed to Chile’s macroeconomic stability, and recent reform initiatives have focused on enhancing these institutions and fiscal transparency. This report assesses fiscal transparency practices in Chile in relation to the requirements of the IMF’s Fiscal Transparency Code and confirms that many elements of sound fiscal transparency practices are already in place. Chile’s practices meet the principles of the code at a good or advanced level for 21 out of the 36 principles. This is a good score, compared to the average for Latin American Countries and Emerging Market Economies. On a further nine principles, Chile meets the basic standard of practice. Chile’s fiscal transparency practices are very strong for fiscal forecasting and budgeting, followed by fiscal reporting, while fiscal risk analysis and management demonstrate more mixed results. Further improvements could be achieved relatively easily through the publication of some internal analyses or through a more timely or user-friendly publication of already available information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chilean government has succeeded in constructing and disseminating a clear view of its objectives and targets, both at the macroeconomic level and for individual budget programs. Government accountability to congress and the public is demonstrably being strengthened. A general reform challenge for Chile will be to institutionalize the many recent advances in transparency, so that they become permanent components of fiscal management. The flexibility inherent in such instruments as protocols and time-bound laws may contribute importantly to speedy and effective policy responses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents an update to the Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes on Fiscal Transparency for Chile. Chile has completed the first stage of the migration of its fiscal statistics to the IMF’s Government Finance Statistics Manual (GFSM 2001). A main result of this migration is the production of the operating statement, corresponding to flow transactions, for the central government, the general government, and the consolidated public enterprises. However, the treatment of interest payments on inflation-indexed bonds and on debt owed to the central bank differs from that in GFSM 2001.

Book excerpt: Chile's macroeconomic policies and strong fundamentals have, to a large extent, insulated it from regional crises, and have allowed continued growth in recent years, albeit at lower rates than in the mid-1990s. Economic performance continues to outpace that of the rest of the Region, and in per capita terms, GDP growth has averaged 4 percent per year since 1990, versus one percent for the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region during the same period. This performance is sustained by sound policies and an ambitious structural reform agenda. The abundant trust in government in Chile today, can be attributed, in part, to two elements of transparency: its fiscal reporting, and the incontestable review by a competent, independent authority - the CGR (Controller General of the Republic). Furthermore, Chile has effectively centralized policies and procedures to support aggregate fiscal discipline, yet, its public financial management is characterized by a unique blend of strengths and weakness. Chile is well into the second generation of public sector reforms. Notwithstanding the favorable status of financial management, to advance with modernization in terms of fiscal transparency, several issues have to be addressed. For Chile to emerge at the forefront of public sector management, it should issue its annual financial statements with an audit opinion, adherent with international accounting standards. But to render opinions, the CGR would have to distance itself from both the ex ante approval role of budget uses, and the preparation of the annual financial statements. Thus, the authorities should consider a solution that complies with international practices, and accommodates with country constraints.

Download or read book Assessing Chile s Pension System Challenges and Reform Options written by Samuel Pienknagura and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-09-10 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chile’s pension system came under close scrutiny in recent years. This paper takes stock of the adequacy of the system and highlights its challenges. Chile’s defined contribution system was quite influential when introduced, and was taken as an example by other countries. However, it is now delivering low replacement rates relative to OECD peers, as its parameters did not adapt over time to changing demographics and global returns, while informality persists in the labor market. In the absence of reforms, the system’s inability to deliver adequate outcomes for a large share of participants will continue to magnify, as demographic trends and low global interest rates will continue to reduce replacement rates. In addition, recent legislation allowing for pension savings withdrawals to counter the effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, is projected to further reduce replacement rates and increase fiscal costs. A substantial improvement in replacement rates is feasible, via a reform that raises contribution rates and the retirement age, coupled with policies that increases workers’ contribution density.
