COVID Module Question 15

Do published documents or information about the implementation of the emergency fiscal policy package under consideration include information on actual sources of financing used?

Guidelines
In reporting on the implementation of emergency fiscal response packages, governments should not only include details about the execution of planned spending, but also details of the degree to which different sources of financing have materialized.

Based on questions 10, 11 and 12 above, the information that should be made available includes details of: (a) additional government revenues raised to finance emergency response; (b) actual borrowing incurred and its composition; (c) foreign aid actually received and related details; (d) any other source of financing used; and (e) an explanatory narrative.

As disaggregating what government revenues or borrowing may be financing the relief package versus other spending needs may not be possible, more general information on actual government revenues and borrowing will be accepted for this question.

Should researchers only reference documents produced by the executive?
No. Researchers can use any documents produced by any public entity to answer the questions, at least to start with. We can then, when analyzing the results, decide whether these "count" or not. If you have any questions or concerns regarding a particular document, please bring it to the team.
