High international oil prices, delays in aid disbursements, and incomplete fiscal adjustment continued to affect inflation rates.

Fiscal adjustment was also necessary to limit external vulnerability and the increase of external debt in relation to GDP.

So, over time, fiscal accounts worsen automatically, creating a vicious circle monetized fiscal deficits lead to inflation and a widening gap in the parallel exchange rate market which worsens the fiscal deficit. Eventually, a major adjustment of the official rate becomes inevitable.

Disaster reduction is synonymous with lowering this vulnerability, a daunting challenge facing Southern African governments during a time of fiscal restraint and economic structural adjustment.

The main pillar of our programme is the fiscal adjustment needed to limit external vulnerability and the increase of Croatia's external debt to gross domestic product ratio.

The bitter medicine that Germany and the ECB want to impose on the periphery the second option is recessionary deflation fiscal austerity, structural reforms to boost productivity growth and reduce unit labor costs, and real depreciation via price adjustment, as opposed to nominal exchange rate adjustment.

Perhaps a stronger fiscal union, a central ministry of finance, and debt sharing would reduce the difficulties and imbalances enough to allow the euro to survive. Perhaps adjustment will start to work just in time.

WASHINGTON, DC When economists discuss fiscal adjustment, they typically frame it as an abstract and complex goal. But the issue is actually simple Who will bear the brunt of measures to reduce the budget deficit?

Contrary to the prevailing wisdom nowadays, some degree of Keynesian demand management in the transition to a more sustainable growth pattern is not in conflict with restoring fiscal balance over a sensible time period. On the contrary, applied both individually and together, fiscal stimulus and consolidation are necessary parts of the adjustment process.

(c) Currency adjustment

But the overall policy mix has been sub optimal, with too much front loaded fiscal consolidation and too much unconventional monetary policy (which has become less effective over time). A better approach in advanced economies would have comprised less fiscal consolidation in the short run and more investment in productive infrastructure, combined with a more credible commitment to medium and long term fiscal adjustment and less aggressive monetary easing.

At the same time, fiscal adjustment remains essential to Italy s short and long term stability. According to the International Monetary Fund, the budget deficit is declining, and the primary surplus (net revenues minus interest payments) is growing.

In fact, most countries are cutting public expenditures with the IMF s support. So, even as some northern countries begin to question the austerity prescription, their southern counterparts (including southern European countries) are increasingly adopting fiscal adjustment measures.

Moreover, the lack of export growth made the fiscal adjustment much more difficult. Higher exports would not only have yielded directly higher revenues they would have had a multiplier effect on the domestic economy as well, thereby increasing consumption tax revenues.

It requires a fiscal policy that focuses not only on efficiency, but also on equity particularly on fairness in sharing the burden of adjustment, and on protecting the weak and vulnerable. It means expanding access to credit and financial services everywhere.

During an economic expansion, such as in the 2002 2007 period, governments are tempted to forecast that the boom will continue indefinitely. Forecasts for tax revenue and budget surpluses are correspondingly optimistic and so hide the need for fiscal adjustment.

After determining the level of unencumbered balances for the fiscal period, the amount actually received in cash becomes due for adjustment to Member States that have fully paid their contributions for the respective biennium, in proportion to their respective assessment rates.

The eurozone crisis will not be resolved until this internal imbalance is reduced to a sustainable level, which requires not only fiscal adjustment in the troubled peripheral economies, but also balance of payments adjustments across the eurozone as a whole. That, in turn, implies the need for a real exchange rate adjustment inside the eurozone, with peripheral countries production costs falling relative to those in the core.

(c) Revenue source's protection from adjustment

The resulting price stickiness tends to delay macroeconomic stabilization and structural adjustment, leading to rising debt and unemployment in weaker economies. Without free labor mobility, fiscal transfers are the eurozone s only option to ease debt repayment and, by stimulating economic activity, boost employment.

The ECB s monetary policy is too tight and Germany is front loading fiscal austerity. Thus, the periphery is destined to a destructive deflationary and recessionary adjustment that will exacerbate the risks of recession, insolvency, eventual defaults and, possibly, exit from the euro.
