Overview

The budget planning process is a crucial part of the budget cycle that helps to balance the government’s limited resources with its competing policy priorities. A well-functioning budget planning process promotes fiscal discipline and facilitates the attainment of strategic goals. In addition, budget laws mandate the aggregation and publication of budget plans for submission to the legislature for authorization.

This course will introduce you to the budget planning process, including the concepts of Medium-Term Expenditure Frameworks and budget ceilings. You will learn how to improve budget planning through iteration with the use of budget versions and scenarios. And you will understand how to maximize fiscal discipline through the use of binding ceilings.
