  2. This Session 本节要点 • Budgeting reform broader than PB 预算改革比绩效预算面广 • Elements of budgeting reform are more fundamental 预算改革中的要素更为重要 • Should precede PB 预算改革应该先于绩效预算 • Elements of reform which should accompany introduction of PB 伴随绩效预算采用过程的改革要素 • To help it to succeed 以促使绩效预算成功 • Relation between PB and Medium-Term Budgeting 绩效预算与中期预算的关系

  3. Budgeting prerequisites for PB 绩效预算的预算前提条件 • Budgeting framework capable of controlling aggregate spending 能够控制总支出的预算框架 • Able to ensure fiscal sustainability 能够确保财政可持续性 • System capable of ensuring public money spent on approved purposes 能够确保公共资金被用于被批准用途的系统 • Probity 公正性 If these don’t exist, focus on them prior to introducing performance budgeting!! 如果这些先觉条件不存在,那么,在采用绩效预算之前重点考虑它们

  4. Budgeting reforms to support performance budgeting 支持绩效预算的预算改革

  5. The Challenge 面临的问题 • PB too often a purely technical exercise: 绩效预算常常是一种纯粹的技术性工作: • In generating performance information 产生绩效信息 • Budget classification by programs 按项目进行预算分类 • Performance indicators etc 绩效指标等等 • And nothing changes 没有改变 • No impact on budget allocations 对预算分配没有影响 • No impact on efficiency and effectiveness 对效率和有效性没有影响 • Performance information not really used 没有真正使用绩效信息 • Contrast with successful countries 与成功国家相比 • Why? What can be done about this? 为什么?怎么办?

  6. Factors behind failure 失败背后的因素 • Political factors may be to blame: 政治因素可能是罪魁祸首 • Political system, culture, or leadership 政治制度、文化或领导体系 • Political focus on performance essential 对绩效的政治关注 • Absence of complementary MFR reforms: 缺乏配套的结果导向的管理改革 • To make public management results-focused 使公共管理呈结果导向 • Budgetary system can be major factor: 预算制度可能是主要因素 1. Prioritization processes weak 预算的优先顺序安排流程不合理 2. Expenditure inflexibilities 支出缺乏灵活性

  7. Expenditure Inflexibilities 支出缺乏灵活性 • Obstacles to cutting or shifting spending 削减或转移支出时所面临的障碍 • Fatal to performance budgeting because: 对绩效预算来说是灾难性的,这是因为 • Effectiveness requires spending reallocation 为保证有效性,需要重新分配支出 • From ineffective/low priority programs从无效/低优先级项目中转移预算 • Efficiency demands wasteful spending cut 提高效率要求削减浪费的开支 • Employment inflexibilities 就业缺乏灵活性 • Inability to shift or shed civil servants 无法轮岗或裁减公务员 • Legally earmarked expenditure: 法律规定的专用支出 • Can only be used for one purpose 只能被用于单一目的 • A form of “extra-budgetary fund” 一种“额外预算基金”的形式 • But should be limited 但应在一定限度内

  9. Spending Review (SR) 支出审查 • Processes to identify/make cuts: 确认并消减支出的进程 • Low-priority and ineffective programs低优先级和低效率的项目 • Duplication or conflict between programs重复项目或存在冲突的项目 • Inefficient practices 低效率的做法 • Often a weak element of budgeting 通常预算中的薄弱元素 • Incrementalism 渐进主义 • Planning often weak on SR 支出审查环节的计划往往较差 • More about new spending priorities更多关于新的支出优先顺序
