Fiscal rules, growth and employment: a developing country perspective

Nikhil. Ray, Agustin Velasquez and Islam, Iyanatul,

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: The paper argues that fiscal rules – which have become popular in recent years - need to be re-examined from a development perspective. The original set of fiscal rules inspired by the European Union’s Stability and Growth Pact were too simplistic and not adapted to developing country circumstances.
