Workshops provide guidance for officials working on the preparation of structural reform measures on how to practically use the guideliens to ensure adequate estimation of their implementation costs and their presentation in the ERP. Spread across eight policy areas and to be implemented over a three-year period, structural reform measures included in the ERPs are set to tackle the most important structural obstacles to competitiveness and inclusive growth of a country. As an important prerequisite for ensuring their successful implementation, not only that each of the measures has to be well-defined and sequenced, but they also need to be realistically and consistently costed, while the funding for their implementation needs to be secured in the medium-term budget process. Workshops tackle these challenges in participatory manner and allow adressing the concrete examples.

Fiscal Implications of Structural Reforms is a three-year multi-beneficiary capacity development that is primarily aimed at supporting public officials mainly from line ministries in sound and consistent assessment of the fiscal implications of structural reforms.
