Abstract

Budgetary institutions have been playing a crucial rule in explaining the varying fiscal performance among different countries. Both theoretical and empirical literature support the idea that budgetary institutions matter for the distribution of power among the key relevant players involved in the budgeting processes, and that they are expected to affect the ultimate outcomes of the fiscal policy. In light of this context, this paper assesses the quality of Egypt's budgetary institutions alongside each of the main phases of the budget cycle, and it analyzes how such institutions may affect the country's overall fiscal performance. The analysis shows that Egypt's fiscal performance can be improved if budgetary institutions, especially those related to transparency and sustainability issues, are strengthened.

埃及预算制度与财政绩效:两者之间存在联系吗?

预算机构在解释不同国家财政表现的差异方面一直发挥着至关重要的作用。理论和实证文献都支持这样一种观点，即预算制度对预算过程中涉及的关键相关参与者之间的权力分配很重要，并且预计它们将影响财政政策的最终结果。在此背景下，本文评估了埃及预算机构的质量以及预算周期的每个主要阶段，并分析了这些机构如何影响该国的整体财政绩效。分析表明，如果预算机构，特别是与透明度和可持续性问题有关的机构得到加强，埃及的财政绩效可以得到改善。

Researchers, practitioners, and teachers of applied government finance turn to Public Budgeting & Finance to find understandable, reliable, and thoughtful analysis of issues important in the field. The content of the journal spans the spectrum of budget process and policy and financial management, is never limited to one level of government or even to one country, and always even-handedly crosses disciplines and approaches in applied government finance.
