RMI Policy Initiatives

NATIONAL STRATEGIC PLAN

DECREMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (DRAFT)Incorporates elements of: Comprehensive Adjustment Program (CAP), Tax and Revenue Reform and Modernization (TRAM) and SOE Reform


RMI Policy Issues

FISCAL MANAGEMENT—Recent Background

Infusion of additional resources supported previously unplanned expenditures in FY13:

$3 million from World Bank (ICT reforms); $6 million from ADB as 2nd tranche of PSP Large surplus from Vessel Day Scheme (VDS), US treaty and

$5,000 VDS rate; (MIMRA revenues in FY12 over $10 million)

MIMRA revenue buoyancy continues in FY14 and beyond

48


RMI Policy Issues

DECREMENT MANAGEMENT, MTBIF & “Stalemate FY14”

RMI implementation of the MTBIF could have addressed 1st step of decrement management plan requirement Line agency ownership and leadership adoption were absent Budgets did not reflect commitments

In the absence of “owned” policy initiatives coming from the RMI the dialogue process was seriously strained

Constrained allocations for FY14 and a call for substantial progress by the outset of FY15
