Brussels, Lessons from NL Independent forecasts and the budgetary process Lessons from the Netherlands by Henk Don former director of CPB (Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis)

Lessons from NL Brussels, Outline  CPB forecasting practice ► medium term election platforms, coalition agreement ► short term annual budget cycle  Position of CPB ► Conditions for quality and independence  Lessons

Lessons from NL Brussels, CPB forecasting practice...

Lessons from NL Brussels, Medium term  timing: political cycle ► every new cabinet + mid-term?  two scenarios ► cautious / optimistic (about potential growth) ► end-year cyclically neutral  relation with budgetary framework ► asymmetric loss => use cautious scenario ► cyclical fluctuations in receipts run in govt balance  relation with long term ► analysis fiscal sustainability, other LT studies

Lessons from NL Brussels, Implementation  cautious scenario is baseline… ► for assessment election platforms ► for coalition negotiations  and benchmark ► updated baseline + effects coalition agreement defines real expenditure ceilings in new cabinet period  system supported by ► advice (Study Group, Social Economic Council) ► no formal rules

Lessons from NL Brussels, Short term  timing: fixed schedule March - June - Sept - Dec  covers current year and next year  draft figures for March, June and Sept available to Ministries (and usually leaked to the press)  draft texts for March and Sept discussed with officials and cabinet

Lessons from NL Brussels, Relation CPB - politicians  CPB determines forecast and assesses likely effects of policy measures  Politicians weigh the results and choose policy measures  No formal obligation to use CPB forecast in budget

Lessons from NL Brussels, Coalition negotiations... NO CHEMISTRY

Lessons from NL Brussels, Position of CPB (1)  Part of Ministry of Economic Affairs ► Budget (11,5 mln), labour statute ► Outside requests need Minister’s fiat  No political interference with methods and analysis  No paid assignments from private parties or local government  About 15% project funding ► Ministries ► EU, OECD

Lessons from NL Brussels, Position of CPB (2)  Advice on work program from ► Central Planning Commission (experts from business and science) ► Committee for Economic Affairs (top level civil servants)  Quality ensured by ► Open attitude, transparency, accountability ► Broad scope, comprehensive knowledge base ► Active contacts with scientific community ► Peer evaluations, reviews, …  Protocol contains code of conduct

Lessons from NL Brussels, Independence  formal rules not decisive  CPB relies largely on quality (track record, trust, public opinion)  refrain from political statements (e.g. no unconditional advice)  checks and balances (external scrutiny and reviews)

Lessons from NL Brussels, Lessons (1) Independent quality forecasts  help improve the quality of the policy debate ► avoid political quarrels about assumptions and policy impact  cannot remove uncertainty, but help cope with it  lead to better policies??

Lessons from NL Brussels, Lessons (2) Safeguards for independence  rules are not decisive ► institutional setup country-specific  checks and balances ► trust must be earned  freedom of publication ► visit us at

Lessons from NL Brussels, Good idea? THEY EASILY FIND THOSE 20 BLN IN SAVINGS AND HOW ABOUT CLOSING DOWN THE CPB?
