The new law: (i) confirms that the Turkish Treasury is the single borrowing authority for the central government, (ii) creates a more transparent framework for the issuance of government guarantees, and (iii) establishes a risk account in the budget, starting with the 2003 budget, to cover the expected fiscal cost of called guarantees. In accordance with the law, more stringent regulations for the issuance of government guarantees and for borrowing by state economic enterprises (SEEs) were issued in April 2002. The Treasury has established a new office (the .Middle Office.) for public liability and risk management. The circular on establishment of the Middle Office and a Public Debt Committee to set policy within the Treasury has a strong emphasis on the risk control function of the Middle Office. A review of the government guarantee portfolio is now underway and preliminary results were available in March 2003, and were published in the first-even Fiscal Risk Report of the Treasury in April 2003. The full institutional structure for the new public liability management system is expected to be in place by the end of 2003. The Government will then be in a position to issue its public liability strategy as an annex to the planned medium-term expenditure framework. The proposed IDF will further build the capacity of the MIddle Office to conduct rism assessments and to support the top Treasury management in the formulation and implemnentation of public liability management policies. The Middle Office capacity will be strengthened via consulting services, workshops, study visits.  These institution-building activities  are expected to result in more efficient implementation of the provisions of the Public debt Law with regards to the management of the government's financial anf fiscal risks coming from the portfolio of its direct debt and contingent liabilities. Efficiency of these cpap proposed IDF The objective of the program supported by the IDF is to improve the transparency of fiscal management by assisting the Turkish Treasury to adopt best practices and technical tools in public liability management, including financial and fiscal risk management.

Local Government Capacity Building Grant to Implement Intergovernmental Fiscal Reforms The main objective of this multi-year (2 year) project is to build capacity at regional/local government levels to successfully implement intergovernmental fiscal reforms outlined in the proposed PRSG (Poverty Reduction Strategy Grant) for Kyrgyz Republic. The recent National Poverty Reduction Strategy (NPRS) and the proposed PRSG refer to Kyrgyz government's intention to further decentralize decision-making and public services to the local levels.  These new reforms will entail a significant increase in subnational governments' responsibilities (ex: local self-governments, LSGs), especially in areas such as managing expenditure; improving local revenue capacity; streamlining the work programs of local treasuries to better align with the fiscal reforms proposed; and promoting effective and transparent service delivery at local levels.  With their current skill profiles and weak capacity, a vast majority of local self-governments in Kyrgyz Republic are unlikley to be able to undertake these responsibilities, thus posing a serious challenge to the full and successful implementation of proposed IGF reforms.  This also means that there is a critical need for a significant and strcutured capacity building program to address the evolving needs over time.  The Ministry of Local Self-Government (MLSG) estimates that a minimum of 1000 staff  from LSGs - including key staff members in finance departsments of Aiyl Okmatus, Oblasts/Raiyons -should be trained in areas of budget formulation, procurement, and intergovernmental finance, within the next few years.  This critical mass of officials at LSGs should be in place prior to the full implementation of PRSG in order to guarantee the success of reforms.  The proposed IDF grant outlines a program which will strengthen the capacity of LSGs to implement  the reforms. The purpose of the Grant is to assist the Recipient in capacity building at regional and local government levels to successfully implement intergovernmental fiscal reforms (IGFs), help strengthen accountability mechanisms in the local budget process and build a strong and viable coalitions between officials in regional financial departments and local governments with a clear enunciation of revenue and expenditure responsibilities of each level of government.
