The framework has been developed in the context of a recently, completed Public Expenditure Management and Financial Accountability Review (PEMFAR) report in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. The note describes first the framework and then illustrates its application to fiscal reform and growth prospects in the context of Haiti. The note concludes by laying out an agenda for developing this framework further, ideally to facilitate use of this framework in preparing more Public Expenditure Reviews (PERs) and elaborating medium-term budget frameworks.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SAFE WATERADMINISTRATIVE COSTSADVISORY SERVICEAGGREGATE DEMANDBASELINE SCENARIOBORROWINGBUDGET BALANCEBUDGET FRAMEWORKCALCULATIONSCAPITAL ACCUMULATIONCAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURECAPITAL STOCKCENTRAL BANKCOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCONSUMPTION TAXESCONTRIBUTIONSDEBTDEBT ACCUMULATIONDEBT RELIEFDEBT SUSTAINABILITYDEPRECIATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISPOSABLE INCOMEDISTRIBUTIONAL ISSUESDOMESTIC BORROWINGDOMESTIC MARKETECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MANAGEMENTECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC SECURITYEDUCATION SYSTEMEFFICIENCY OF RESOURCE ALLOCATIONEXPENDITURE ANALYSISEXPENDITURESEXTERNALITIESFINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYFINANCIAL SUPPORTFISCAL DEFICITSFISCAL DISCIPLINEFISCAL POLICYFISCAL REFORMFISCAL SYSTEMFOREIGN BORROWINGGOVERNMENT BUDGETGOVERNMENT EXPENDITUREGOVERNMENT REVENUEGOVERNMENT SPENDINGGROWTH RATEHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH SERVICESHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCOME SOURCEINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESINTEREST EXPENDITUREINTEREST PAYMENTINTEREST PAYMENTSINVENTORYINVESTINGLABOR FORCELIFE EXPECTANCYLITERACYLOW-INCOMEMACROECONOMIC FRAMEWORKMARKET PRICESMEDIUM-TERM EXPENDITUREMEDIUM-TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORKPHYSICAL CAPITALPOLITICAL STABILITYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPRIVATE CAPITALPRIVATE CONSUMPTIONPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SAVINGPRIVATE SECTORPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLICPUBLIC CAPITALPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWSPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH SERVICESPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC SCHOOLSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENTRATIO OF PUBLIC SPENDINGRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRETURNROADSSALARIESSENIORSTOCKSTAXTAX RATETAX RATESTAX REVENUESTOTAL EXPENDITUREUNCERTAINTYUSER FEESWAGESWEB SITEWORTHWorld Bank10.1596/11125
