IMF Staff Country Report-Russian Federation: Selected Issues

August 2, 2019--FURTHER IMPROVING FISCAL TRANSPARENCY IN RUSSIA TO RAISE GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE VULNERABILITIES TO CORRUPTION1
Fiscal transparency has acquired a central role in IMF surveillance since the wave of crises that struck emerging markets in the late 1990s. Budget openness is important because it increases investor confidence, facilitates the efficient allocation of resources by the public sector, and reduces opportunities for corruption.

Cross-country evidence from European countries confirms that fiscal transparency is broadly and robustly correlated with better outcomes, including lower borrowing costs, higher efficiency of public investment and revenue collection, and improved corruption perceptions. Russia scores relatively well on fiscal transparency and has made significant progress in improving its practices over the last 5 years. However, there remains room for further improvement. Fiscal statistics should be compiled by an independent statistics agency and expanded to include sub-soil assets, public private partnerships, and pension liabilities.
