Both spending and revenue shares are projected to fall and the debt to GDP ratio to remain below 30% of GDP. In the next decade, it will be necessary to exercise continued budget prudence so as to deal with spending pressures related to infrastructure development, social services (health and education), and to prepare for the budgetary implications of population ageing. In the environment of less buoyant growth and fiscal revenues, the need to establish clear spending priorities and to ensure value for money becomes more important than ever.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISMADVANCED RESEARCHAGGREGATE SPENDINGALLOCATIONALLOCATION OF FUNDSANALYTICAL SKILLSANNUAL BUDGETANNUAL TARGETSAPPROPRIATIONSBACKGROUND PAPERSBUDGET DEFICITBUDGET DOESBUDGET ENVELOPEBUDGET FRAMEWORKBUDGET PROCEDUREBUDGET PROJECTIONSBUDGET RESOURCESBUDGET YEARBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONSBUDGETARY MANAGEMENTBUDGETARY PROCEDURESBUDGETARY PROCESSBUDGETARY RULESCAPITAL EXPENDITURECAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCAPITAL SPENDINGCAPITAL TRANSFERSCAREERCAREER DEVELOPMENTCENTERS OF EXCELLENCECENTRAL GOVERNMENTCIRCULATORY SYSTEMCLASSIFICATION OF EXPENDITURESCOLLEGESCOMPETITIVE SALARIESCURRICULUMDEBTDEFICIT REDUCTIONDIABETESECONOMIC CLASSIFICATIONECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCEEFFICIENCY GAINSEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSEFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC SPENDINGENROLLMENT RATESENROLLMENT RATIOEXPENDITURE CEILINGSEXPENDITURE COMMITMENTSEXPENDITURE CUTSEXPENDITURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMEXPENDITURE PLANNINGEXPENDITURE PLANSEXPENDITURES ON HEALTHFACULTIESFAMILIESFINANCE MINISTRYFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL CONSOLIDATIONFISCAL IMPACTFISCAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL RISKFISCAL SUSTAINABILITYGLOBAL COMPETITIVENESSGOVERNMENT BUDGETGOVERNMENT PRIORITIESGOVERNMENT SPENDINGGRADUATION RATESGROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATIONHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SPENDINGHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FOR ALLHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SPENDINGHEALTH WORKERSHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION ENROLLMENTSHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMSHOSPITALIZATIONHOSPITALSHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTINCOME REDISTRIBUTIONINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PERFORMANCEINTEREST PAYMENTSINTEREST SUBSIDIESLABOR FORCELAWSLEARNINGLEARNING OUTCOMESLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFELONG LEARNINGLITERACYMEDIUM-TERM EXPENDITUREMEDIUM-TERM FRAMEWORKMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF FINANCEMODERN ECONOMYMORTALITYMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATIONAL INCOMENATIONAL STATISTICSNATIONAL STATISTICS OFFICENOMINAL CEILINGNURSESOUTPATIENT CAREPATIENTSPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPHYSICIANSPOLICY FORMULATIONPOLYTECHNICSPOST-SECONDARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE CONSUMPTIONPRIVATE FUNDSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SPENDINGPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROGRAM STRUCTUREPROGRAMSPUBLIC ACCOUNTSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC DEMANDPUBLIC EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HOSPITALSPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENT SPENDINGPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC SECTOR REFORMPUBLIC SECTORSPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF TEACHINGREFORM PROCESSESREFORM STRATEGYSALARY INCREASESSCHOLARSHIPSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSSECTORAL POLICIESSERVICE QUALITYSMOKINGSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL BENEFITSSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SECURITY FUNDSSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL SUPPORTSTATE BUDGETSTATE GOVERNMENTSTERILIZATIONSTRATEGIC PLANSSUB-NATIONAL GOVERNMENTSTEACHERTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING ASSISTANTSTEACHING POSITIONSTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATION BUDGETTERTIARY EDUCATION ENROLLMENTSTOTAL EXPENDITURETOTAL EXPENDITURESTOTAL SPENDINGTRANSITION ECONOMIESTRANSPARENCYTUITIONUNCERTAINTYUNEMPLOYMENTUNIVERSITIESVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSWAGE EXPENDITURESWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/12879
