  • He, Dong

Abstract

This paper describes the main featues of the Korean fiscal system from a macroeconomic perspective. It discusses why fiscal outtrns tend to differ from the budget and makes suggestions to improve budget formulation and implementation. It also discusses how medium-term fiscal objectives such as maintaining a balanced budget and reducing public debt can be reconciled with the short-term objective of avoiding procyclical fiscal impulses in a downtun.
