      or branch in economics which deals with the revenues and expenditures
      patterns of the government and their various effects on the economy 
      concerned with the implementation and practicalities of these concepts 
      has always been considered part of economics  Economics – Deals with the
      utilization of scarce resources that have alternative uses to satisfy human
      wants.  Encompasses the practical aspects of fiscal governance such as: >
      revenue collection > preparation of budgets > budget allocation and
      spending > management of debt > auditing of account  deals with certain
      at a rather broad conceptual level financial issues e.g. real problems as
      economic incentives , aggregate employment, & inflation
11.   11. PUBLIC FISCAL ADMINISTRATION PUBLIC FINANCE Deals with, but is
      not restricted to the more limited issues covered by public fiscal In recent
      times, however, with the emergence of the field of public administration,
      much interest has been directed towards the political administrative and
      management aspects of formulating, implementing and evaluating fiscal
      policy-hence, the term public fiscal administration Is centered on the
      determination and analysis of fiscal policies starting from their formulation
      to their implementation and evaluation.
12.   12. FISCAL POLICY MONETARY POLICY  refers to the combination of
      policies on: TAXATION EXPENDITURES adopted by the BORROWING
      government BUDGETING to achieve ACCOUNTING objectives AUDITING 
      concerned with the control of the aggregate supply of money (cash in
      pockets and balances in bank accounts) in the economy and is monitored
      and shaped primarily by the Central Bank  tight and easy money regimes
      are simply its effects  End product of fiscal administration  its major
      objectives are price stabilization, full employment, and economic growth 
      Serves as tools to achieve general welfare objectives, and shape and
      influence by the POLITICAL PROCESS  its conduct is an art, involving a
      delicate balancing act, the use of appropriate tools, the sending of proper
      signals to the market on its broad intentions Note: Have no dividing line as
      to the impact of fiscal and monetary policies in the economy Example: a
      decision to incur a budget deficit ( a matter of fiscal policy) will require
      domestic borrowing thru the issuance of treasury bills which affect the
      money supply (monetary policy).
13.   13. Fiscal Policy Functions Allocation  It is the process by which total
      resource use is divided between private and social goods and which the mix
      of social goods is chosen.  In the performance of allocation function, fiscal
      policy is expected to regulate the balance in making available both private
      goods, merit goods, and social goods. The government intervenes through
      subsidies, price regulation, and direct provision of social goods.Distributio n
      The distribution of income and wealth is shaped by the distribution of the
      factors of production.  Fiscal policy is directed toward correcting this
      income and wealth. ex. high tax for rich, and low tax for poor; favorable
      public policies on agrarian reform, wages, labor and employment, among
      others
14.   14. Fiscal Policy Functions Stabilization  instability may be due to changes
      in prices of major imports, cost of foreign borrowings, and the availability of
      foreign borrowings which lead to huge deficits in the budget and balance of
      payments and trade.  Using expenditure and tax policies for stabilization in
      developing countries may be more difficult. An increase in expenditures may
      entail either additional taxes or more borrowing. The low tax base and
      inefficient tax administration makes a case of public borrowing.  A country
      aspiring to achieve growth and development may have to experience
      instabilities and suffer chronic balance of payments deficit, severe inflation,
      high levels of unemployment and underemployment and the like.
      Developmen t (in developing countries)  Development is an expensive
      endeavor. For it to be achieved by developing countries, a radical shift in
      revenue and expenditure priorities is called for.  Human development –
      process of enlarging the range of people’s choices; increasing their
      opportunities for education, health care, income and employment, and
      covering the full range of human choices from a sound physical environment
      and political freedom.  Sustainable development – is a process of change in
      which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the
      orientation of technological development, and institutional change are made
      consistent
15.   15. TARGETS OF MONETARY POLICY – given the effect of MP on the inflation
      rate, interest rates and levels of output and employment, and growth,
      monetary authorities try to target some variables in order to achieve a
      certain inflation rate or GNP growth Monetary Aggregates  Refer to the
      different measures of money. As per the Quantity Theory of Money, money
      supply increases do tend to raise the inflation rate Interest Rates  It does
      not directly target. Rather, BSP uses the policy interest rates for Repurchase
      Agreements (Repos) and Reverse Repos (RRPs) to signal to the market their
      intention to tighten or loosen monetary policy or simply maintain the status
      quo. These are made by the MB. Inflation Targeting  The government’s
      inflation target is defined in terms of the average year-on-year change in the
      consumer price index (CPI) over the calendar year
16.   16. Price Index – an average of prices of commodities in relation to their
      prices in a specified base year COMPUTING AN INDEX Price of Rice (per kg)
      Price Index (Rice) 2000* 14.00 (14/14) X 100 = 100.0 2003 15.40 (15.40/14) X
      100 = 110.0 2004 16.17 (16.17/14) X 100 = 115.5 Annual Increase (%) 2003 –
      2004 = (16.17 – 15.40) 15.40 = 5.0% Annual increase (%) 2003 – 2004 = (115.5
      – 110) 110 = 5.0%
17.   17.  Three elements in the construction of an average price index 1. the
      items in the market basket 2. the weight of each item 3. the base year used
      as the point of comparison. Inflation yardsticks: 1. GNP deflator - 2.
      Producers Price Index (PPI) 3. Consumer Price Index (CPI)
18.   18. INFLATION YARDSTICKS: 1. GNP deflator - a measure, which shows the
      general price level of the final output of goods and services by Philippine
      nationals for a given period. 2. Producers Price Index – measures the price
      changes of finished goods, intermediate materials and crude materials at
      the level of the factory or production unit. 3. Consumer Price Index – is a
      measure of the changes in prices of consumer goods and services.
19.   19. TOOLS OF MONETARY POLICY (monetary policy instruments used by the
      BSP to ease and tighten credit in the economy thus promote price stability,
      and increase or reduce liquidity in the financial system) (1) Tools Aimed at
      Monetary Aggregates ? a. Purchase / Sale of Foreign Exchange in the FOREX
      Market  in order to ensure that banks are able to provide ample liquidity in
      the market but, at the same time, conduct their business in a sound manner,
      and guard against speculative activity, limits on their “net open foreign
      exchange position” are instituted.  “Open Foreign Exchange Position” shall
      refer to the extent that banks' foreign exchange assets do not match their
      foreign exchange liabilities  An open position may either be: o "positive",
      "long", or "overbought" (i.e., foreign exchange assets exceed foreign
      exchange liabilities) or o "negative", "short", or "oversold" (i.e., foreign
      exchange liabilities exceed foreign exchange assets).  Allowable Open
      Foreign Exchange Position. Banks' allowable open foreign
20.   20. Any excess of the allowable limit shall be settled on a daily basis. 
      Penalties on excess overbought and oversold positions of banks when PDS
      trading is suspended shall be waived. b. Open Market Operations - are a key
      component of monetary policy implementation. These consist of repurchase
      and reverse repurchase transactions, outright transactions, and foreign
      exchange swaps. i.Repurchase and reverse repurchase  In a repurchase or
      repo transaction, the BSP buys government securities from a bank with a
      commitment to sell it back at a specified future date at a predetermined
      rate. The BSP’s payment to the bank increases the latter’s reserve balances
      and has an expansionary effect on liquidity. In a reverse repo, the BSP acts
      as the seller of government securities and the bank’s payment has a
      contractionary effect on liquidity
21.   21. ii. Outright transactions  refer to the direct purchase/sale by the BSP of
      its holdings of government securities from/to banking institutions.  In an
      outright transaction, the parties do not commit to reverse the transaction in
      the future, creating a more permanent effect on money supply.  The
      transactions are conducted using the BSP’s holdings of government
      securities.  When the BSP buys securities, it pays for them by directly
      crediting its counterparty’s Demand Deposit Account with the BSP.  The
      transaction thus increases the buyer’s holdings of central bank reserves
      and expands the money supply.  Conversely, when the BSP sells securities,
      the buyer’s payment (made by direct debit against his Demand Deposit
      Account with the BSP) causes the money supply to contract. iii. Foreign
      exchange swaps refer to transactions involving the actual exchange of two
      currencies (principal amount only) on a specific date at a rate agreed on the
      deal date (the first leg), and a reverse exchange of the same two currencies
      at a date further in the future (the second leg) at a rate (different from the
      rate applied to the first leg) agreed on deal date.
22.   22. TOOLS OF MONETARY POLICY (2) Tools Aimed at Influencing the
      Multiplier or Interest Rate a. Reserve Requirements - refer to the percentage
      of bank deposits and deposit substitute liabilities that banks must keep on
      hand or in deposits with the BSP and therefore may not lend. Money
      multiplier is inversely related to the required reserves percentage. If the
      required reserves are low, banks can lend more of their deposit and the
      multiplier is high. If it is increased, banks can lend less and the multiplier
      goes down. Changes in reserve requirements have a significant effect on
      money supply in the banking system, making them a powerful means of
      liquidity management.  Reserve requirements apply to peso demand,
      savings, time deposit and deposit substitutes (including long-term non-
      negotiable tax-exempt certificates of time deposit or LTNCTDs) of universal
      banks (UBs) and commercial banks (KBs) and may be kept in the form of
      cash in vault, deposits with the BSP and government securities.
  23. 23. TOOLS OF MONETARY POLICY  Required reserves consist of two forms:
      regular or statutory & liquidity reserves - Deposits maintained by banks with
      the BSP up to 40 percent of the regular reserve requirement are paid
      interest at 4 percent per annum - Liquidity reserves are paid the rate on
      comparable government securities less half a percentage point. The use of
      liquidity reserves help to reduce bank intermediation costs since they are
      paid market-based interest rates. - In March 2006, the Monetary Board
      began to require banks to keep liquidity reserves in the form of term
      deposits in the reserve deposit account (RDA) with the BSP instead of
      government securities bought directly from the BSP.
  24. 24. TOOLS OF MONETARY POLICY b. Rediscounting  The BSP extends
      discounts, loans and advances to banking institutions in order to influence
      the volume of credit in the financial system. Rediscounting is a standing
      credit facility provided by the BSP to help banks meet temporary liquidity
      needs by refinancing the loans they extend to their clients. The
      rediscounting facility allows a financial institution to borrow money from the
      BSP using promissory notes and other loan papers of its borrowers as
      collateral. There are two types of rediscounting facilities available to
      qualified banks: the peso rediscounting facility and the Exporters’ Dollar and
      Yen Rediscount Facility (EDYRF) which was introduced in 1995.  If the BSP
      wants to constrict deposits and money supply, it simply reduced the amount
      of funds it makes available and/or raises the rediscount rate.
  25. 25. Differences between Developed and Developing Countries in FISCAL
      SYSTEMS stems from the following:  Level of Economic Development 
      Historical Experience  Scars and Traumas of Wars  Process of
      Colonization  Politico – Economic Relationships Developed Countries =
      goals are more concerned with maintaining growth and economic stability
      Developing Countries = its goal is to achieve DEVELOPMENT, or narrowly,
      INDUSTRIALIZATION

      activities and operations to generate revenue, make those available, and see to it that funds
      are wisefully, lawfully, effectively and efficiently spent. • The administration of finances is an
      intrinsic component of management responsibility. There is an intimate linkage between
      administering and funding. An administrative act has financial implications.
8.    8. Fiscal Policy of the Philippines • Fiscal policy refers to the “measures employed by
      governments to stabilize the economy, specifically by manipulating the levels and allocations of
      taxes and government expenditures. Fiscal measures are frequently used in tandem with
      monetary policy to achieve certain goals.”
9.    9. OVERVIEW A DECISION TO INCREASE TAXES INCREASES REVENUE OF
      GOVERNMENT TO IMPLEMENT SOCIAL AMELIORATION PROGRAM CREATES A
      CHARGE ON REVENUE EARNED WHILE AT THE SAME TIME DISTRIBUTES AND
      DISPENSES SOCIAL BENEFITS.
10.   10. ORGANIZING FOR FISCAL ADMINISTRATION • Interested in it Top Management Level •
      Deeply involved in it Middle Management • Affected by whatever results from it Rank and File
11.   11. Principal Agencies tasked with fiscal functions: A. CONGRESS (Lower House) B.
      DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE C. DEPARTMENT OF BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT D.
      COMMISION ON AUDIT
12.   12. CONGRESS (Lower House) Responsible for revenue and expenditure policies.

      Disbursements Keeping of accounts
14.   14. DEPARTMENT OF BUDGET & MANAGEMENT Review of estimates and fiscal policy
      studies in close consultation with the National Economic Development Authority.
15.   15. COMMISSION ON AUDIT Conducts fund and performance audit to see to it that
      expenditures are in accordance with the Appropriation Law approved.
16.   16. BANGKO SENTRAL NG PILIPINAS (BSP) and OTHER ECONOMIC PLANNING
      ENTITIES (Offices & Agencies) • See to it that fiscal plans and programs are geared towards
      national development.
17.   17. FISCAL CONTROL MECHANISMS Four Justification for Expenditure Control through the
      Budget: 1) Prevent Misappropriation of Funds 2) Control to Implement Prospective Policy 3)
      Ensure the Wisdom and Propriety of Expenditure 4) Prevent Deficits
18.   18. BUDGETING CONCEPTS 1. Planning – Programming Budget System (PPBS) Type 2.
      Zero – Base Budgeting (ZBB) Type
19.   19. BUDGETING CONCEPTS Planning – Programming Budget System (PPBS) Type. a)
      Gives assurance that the budget will help achieve desired agency results. b) Unit head
      defends the budget, explains its contribution to the realization of agency goals, develops a cost
      projection for each program. c) Submits this to top management which reviews the program
      and decides on final budget allocation.
20.   20. BUDGETING CONCEPTS Zero – Base Budgeting (ZBB) Type a) The agency justifies the
      entire appropriation request for the fiscal year as if the programs are entirely new, instead of
      justifying only the increase requested above the previous year’s appropriation. b) The agency
      is obligated to defend all programs every year and rank these in terms of priority using the ratio
      between cost and benefit criterion. c) Provides opportunity for top management to re- evaluate
      the need for on-going programs, compare these with the proposed and the prioritized for
      implementation.
21.   21. LINE ITEM versus PERFORMANCE BUDGETING 1. Line Item • Object of the expenditure
      type • Consists of a detailed listings of every position to be filled • Gives the legislative body
      tremendous discretion to strike out or to approve individual items. • Funds appropriated may
      not be transferred from one category of expense to another. • Also known as “rule of thumb”
      budgeting where figures of past years are reflected but without income indicators.
22.   22. LINE ITEM versus PERFORMANCE BUDGETING Three columns of figures appear in
      each budget sheet: a) Actual expenditure for each object during the previous fiscal year b)
      Estimated amounts to be spent for the same objects for the current fiscal year c) Amount
      desired for the same objects for the incoming or future fiscal year
23.   23. LINE ITEM versus PERFORMANCE BUDGETING 2. Performance Budgeting • is lump
      sum budgeting • is program budgeting which spells out functions, activities and projects • allow
      transfer of funds from one organizational unit to another, between work activities and objects to
      spent for. • there is difficulty in identifying what work units perform or not perform, since its
      most important concern is the overall performance of the agency.
24.   24. NEW POLICY GUIDELINES FOR BUDGETING Based on this agenda: The formulation of
      the national budget must be in the context of a three year planning framework Expenditures
      must achieve program targets and support development strategy
   25. 25. NEW POLICY GUIDELINES FOR BUDGETING  Agency programs will be supportive of
         the identified priority areas which include the following: 1. Modernization of the agricultural
         sector to augment farmer income, bolster production and attain food security. 2. Improvement
         of the quality of basic social services like health and sanitation, nutrition, education, social
         welfare and housing. 3. Acceleration of countryside infrastructure development. 4.
         Enhancement of global competitiveness through liberalization, deregulation, and privatization.
         5. Provision for macroeconomic stability by instilling fiscal discipline, prudent government
         spending and efficient revenue generation. 6. Reform in governance to make it responsive to
         the current domestic and global environment.
   26.   26. PRINCIPLES FOR AGENCY GUIDANCE 1) Prudent Spending 2) Entrepreneurial
         Budgeting 3) Performance Based Budgeting 4) Wholistic Budgeting 5) Consistency with Sub-
         Sectoral Development Objectives
   27.   27. INCOME SOURCES 1. Tax Revenue 2. Non-Tax Revenue
