Abstract
The 2009 Public Finance Review (PFR) has
three chapters. The first deals with broad public finance
topics such as aggregate fiscal management, efficient
allocation of public spending, revenue performance, and
trends and usage of external aid. The second chapter deals
with how inflation affects the government budget. Inflation
has sharply increased the cost of creating and maintaining
public infrastructure and delivering public services,
however, most people seem to be unaware of its true cost. By
estimating the cost of inflation on the budget, the report
hopes to raise awareness about debilitating effects of high
inflation on development through its effect on the public
exchequer. Finally, the third chapter scrutinizes various
financing modalities in the rural water supply to find which
one has been most effective and sustainable in the Ethiopian context.
