6. What are the major concerns: Use in policymaking
Use in policymaking: The present state of availability (and
accessibility) of fiscal data do not adequately meet the demand for
policymaking and ensuring transparency and accountability
➤ Constituency-wise data is not available
➤ Impact analyses (both ex-ante and ex-post) of fiscal measures are mostly
missing
➤ Decisions are often taken (in an ad-hoc basis) without stakeholder
consultation
■ For instance: SROs, new ADP projects, supplementary budget
All of the aforementioned issues impedes effective policymaking in a
transparent and accountable manner
These also limit the capacity for better use of public money
