Fiscal policy makers have faced an extraordinarily challenging environment over the last few years. This volume brings together the analysis underpinning the IMF’s position on the evolving role of fiscal policy. After establishing its analytical foundation, with chapters on such topics as fiscal risk and debt dynamics, the book analyzes the buildup of fiscal vulnerabilities before the crisis, presents the policy response during the crisis, discusses the fiscal outlook and policy challenges ahead, and offers lessons learned from the crisis and its aftermath.

by Raphael A. Espinoza, Ghada Fayad, and Ananthakrishnan Prasad

The economies of the Arab states of the Gulf have gone through considerable changes in the past decades, spurred by high oil prices and ambitious diversification plans. In addition, the recent economic crisis highlighted the importance of fiscal, monetary, and financial stability policies to manage macroeconomic cycles.

It concludes with a discussion of the importance of the Gulf Cooperation Council for the wider region.
