General Question (c)

With respect to the emergency fiscal policy package identified in General Question (b), what were the key documents and information on the emergency fiscal policy package and its implementation, and when were they published (or updated)?

Guidelines
This question asks the researcher to identify the set of documents/data that were used as the basis for answering the questions in parts 2, 3, 4 below (on the design, implementation and oversight of the emergency fiscal policy package). The researcher should list the key documents and information related to the introduction and implementation of the emergency fiscal policy package. For each document or information source listed, researchers should provide the title, weblink, date of publication, and a brief explanation of its nature and characteristics. Any document or information sources cited in Parts 2, 3, or 4 below should be listed in General Question (c).

While the emergency fiscal policy package needs to have been introduced by 30 September 2020 to be considered for this assessment, documents and information about the implementation of the package can be considered if they are published until 31 December 2020, to ensure adequate coverage of implementation reporting.

Are documents produced by non-public entities acceptable?
Our researcher in Lesotho asked if we would accept an IMF document that has also been published on the Lesotho MOF website to use in answering questions in the COVID module.
