Postconflict Countries: Strategy for Rebuilding Fiscal Institutions
Published By: | Published Date: June, 20 , 2007This paper reviews the challenges and experiences in rebuilding fiscal institutions in
postconflict environments, based on advice from the IMF’s Fiscal Affairs Department to
selected countries. The recommended strategy involved a three-step process of (i) creating a
proper legal framework for fiscal management, (ii) establishing a central fiscal authority and a
mechanism for co-ordinating foreign assistance, and (iii) designing appropriate tax policies
while simultaneously creating simple tax administration and expenditure management
arrangements. [Research Paper No. 2007/41]
