The Recovery through Improved Systems and Expenditure Support (RISES) Program comprises two subprograms supporting public sector management reforms that will facilitate Palau's recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis. Subprogram 2 deepens and implements reforms initiated under subprogram 1, which was approved on 23 April 2021. Overall, the program seeks to (i) strengthen the policy and legislative framework for public financial management; (ii) reduce fiscal risks from weak management of public revenue, expenditure, and liabilities; and (iii) support private sector development, toward restoring sustained and equitable economic growth. Under subprogram 2, JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游 supports 10 prior actions, all of which have been completed. The proposed budget support amount is $30 million (regular OCR) under subprogram 2 in FY2022, which along with the $25 million ($20 million COL and $5 million OCR) approved under subprogram 1, brings JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游's total financing under this program to $55 million.

| Description |
The Recovery through Improved Systems and Expenditure Support (RISES) Program comprises two subprograms supporting public sector management reforms that will facilitate Palau's recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis. Subprogram 2 deepens and implements reforms initiated under subprogram 1, which was approved on 23 April 2021. Overall, the program seeks to (i) strengthen the policy and legislative framework for public financial management; (ii) reduce fiscal risks from weak management of public revenue, expenditure, and liabilities; and (iii) support private sector development, toward restoring sustained and equitable economic growth. Under subprogram 2, JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游 supports 10 prior actions, all of which have been completed. The proposed budget support amount is $30 million (regular OCR) under subprogram 2 in FY2022, which along with the $25 million ($20 million COL and $5 million OCR) approved under subprogram 1, brings JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游's total financing under this program to $55 million. Although Palau demonstrated sound macro-fiscal management by maintaining annual fiscal surpluses averaging 3.0% of GDP during FY2011 FY2019, the lingering impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic have heightened fiscal risks that can constrain sustainable recovery. Recognizing these risks, the government has developed an ambitious reform agenda comprising critical policy reforms to, among others: develop an overarching fiscal responsibility legislation and a corresponding medium-term fiscal strategy; implement a comprehensive tax reform package to modernize and increase the efficiency of Palau's tax system; and strengthen the legal and institutional frameworks for international commercial arbitration, public-private partnerships, and business registrations. The RISES Program aligns with and supports government's broad-ranging reform agenda to help shift Palau's economic recovery onto a more sustainable path. |
||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The programmatic approach comprises two subprograms in support of public sector management reforms to bolster Palau's recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. Subprogram 2 is the final subprogram, deepening and implementing the reforms initiated under subprogram 1, which was approved and disbursed in 2021. All policy actions completed under subprogram 1 remain in effect. Subprogram 2 builds on the achievements of subprogram 1 and further supports the government to strengthen PFM, reduce fiscal risks, and promote private sector development to restore sustained and equitable economic growth. The program is aligned with Strategy 2030 of the JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游 and its operational priorities of strengthening governance and institutional capacity including a differentiated approach to institutional strengthening and private sector development in small island developing states and accelerating progress in gender equality. It is consistent with the Pacific Approach 2021 2025, which prioritizes PFM improvements to achieve the strategic objective of preparing for and responding to shocks, and the broader goal of building resilience. | ||||
