(a) Fiscal incentives reduce the tax burden for a foreign investor.

The case for returning fiscal responsibility to national authorities is also strong and not only because centralized fiscal authority has proved to be so inefficient. With citizens of distressed countries bearing the fiscal burden of the crisis, the enduring presumption that they will not act responsibly is patronizing, at best.

Fiscal Challenges and Fiscal Follies

The impact was greater in countries that had a history of structural fiscal problems, maintained loose fiscal policies, and ignored fiscal reforms during the boom years. In the future, a weak economic recovery and an aging population are likely to increase the debt burden of many advanced economies, including the United States, the UK, Japan, and several euro zone countries.

Fiscal consolidation has made limited headway, and, with interest rates now rising, the effect on the budget of a higher burden of debt servicing could be a matter of some concern.

It is clear what is needed a European fiscal authority that is able and willing to reduce the debt burden of the periphery, as well as a banking union. Debt relief could take various forms other than Eurobonds, and would be conditional on debtors abiding by the fiscal compact.

America s gravest fiscal problem is the short and medium run deficit between tax revenues and spending. This deficit is entirely of Bush s own creation, having enacted and now seeking to extend tax cuts that are not cuts at all, because they merely shift the burden of fiscal consolidation onto future generations.

International burden sharing, involving fiscal consolidation in the United States, more rapid growth in the Euro area, and exchange rate appreciation and somewhat slower growth in China, was considered the least costly way.

With respect to Africa s own progress on tariff reduction, the international community should be sensitive to the possible impact of tariff reduction on budget revenues, fiscal deficits, macroeconomic instability and debt service burden.

Despite cuts in government spending and increases in taxes, the IMF still projects the cyclically adjusted fiscal deficit to exceed 3.2 of GDP in 2013 and 2.3 of GDP in 2015. The key to solving Spain s fiscal problem lies in the semi autonomous regions that generate spending and shift the financing burden to Madrid.

And for that we need fiscal stimulus ideally, the debt friendly stimulus that raises taxes and expenditures equally. The increased tax burden for all who are employed is analogous to the reduced hours in work sharing.

With a smaller debt burden and interest payments, Egypt s fiscal position would improve significantly, and threats to economic growth would recede. Foreign lenders resulting caution would prevent future Egyptian governments from irresponsibly saddling their populace with debt.

A study in the United Kingdom had shown that the proportion of taxes paid by immigrants was comparable to their consumption of public services, thus dispelling the myth that migrants were a net burden on fiscal reserves.

Unless additional fiscal steps are taken, the tax burden will drop significantly beginning in 1999, and will be around 9 per cent much lower than the 12 per cent set in the Agreements by the year 2000.
