Abstract:
\nWhat governments own is just as important as what they owe. Yet most fiscal policy is focused on debt and deficits, with little information on public assets or non-debt liabilities.\u00a0 These assets are both large and consequential, explaining sovereign yields and the degree of economic resilience, and if managed better have the potential to boost revenues considerably.<\/p>\n

The 2018 Fiscal Monitor<\/a> presents for the first time public sector balance sheets across a broad range of countries. These include public corporations, reflecting their importance to fiscal policy and as a source of fiscal risk.\u00a0 The Monitor presents a framework for analyzing balance sheets, showing how the US would cope with another major crisis, what an investment surge means for Indonesia\u2019s public wealth, and how Norway\u2019s massive assets stack up against age-related spending pressures. Drawing on examples such as Australia, NZ and the UK, the Monitor shows how countries can begin to measure, assess and manage their public wealth to improve fiscal, social and economic outcomes.<\/p>\n
