Abstract
This public expenditure review is
produced jointly by the World Bank and the Inter-American
Development Bank, and focuses on social sectors spending and
leaves aside infrastructure and other sectors. This report,
finalized in June 2002 and discussed with Authorities in
mid-August 2002, does not take into account policy
developments occurring after this time. The report is
organized as follows: Chapter 1 presents a synthesis of
Peru's public expenditure reform agenda from the
Bank's perspective. It is based on, and distills, the
thematic chapters that make up this report. Chapters 2-4
examine the core functions of public expenditure management:
macro fiscal aggregates, resource allocations to strategic
sectors, and microeconomic efficiency of public spending.
Chapters 5-8 explore selected themes, such as the
decentralization of public administration and the social
sectors; civil service reform; governance and corruption;
and mining fiscal and environmental issues. These chapters
are, in turn, supported by fifteen topic-specific background
papers, including an innovative public expenditure tracking
survey on municipal transfers. Other topics focus on public
sector employment; decentralization of health and education;
an empirical diagnostic study on governance, rule of law,
and corruption; and a comparison of the Peruvian tax system
with mining tax systems in other nations.
