Summary

Multi-annual public expenditure limits (PEL) are the latest addition to Slovakia’s rule-based fiscal framework and provide an operational fiscal policy instrument to strengthen fiscal discipline. This report advises on enhancements to public financial management for the successful introduction of PEL. It outlines the steps to move towards a more strategic, medium-term approach to budgeting. It also advises on how to manage spending under the PEL, including through contingency margins; to integrate expenditure baselines and spending reviews in the budget process; and to tighten budget execution. Finally, it advises on institutional changes to facilitate the process.
