  • Structural Fiscal Balances Database for LAC: A Tool to Assess Fiscal Performance in the Region
    Dataset

    By Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)
    The database allows estimating structural fiscal balances for 20 countries in the region under different assumptions regarding the output gap and commodity structural prices. It is a unique database of its kind since: 1) It takes into consideration the distinct responsiveness of different types of revenues to changes in the output gap: In order to adjust for the impact of the business cycle on revenues, we calculate individual elasticities for each source of revenue (i.e. direct taxes, indirect taxes, revenues from non-renewable resources, etc.). Since the different types of revenues in the region have different sensitivities to changes in the output gap, this disaggregated approach allows for a more fine-tuned adjustment. 2) It includes estimations of SFBs based on output gaps projections available in real time. In addition to giving estimations of the actual SFBs, we provide with estimations of the SFBs that would have resulted should the projections on output gaps available to...

  • Database of Equivalent Fiscal Pressure in Latin America and the Caribbean - 1990-2021: Update and Status in the...
    Dataset

    By Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)
    This is the third update of the Equivalent Fiscal Pressure (EFP) Database for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) for the period 1990–2018, based on the IDB-CIAT methodology. The EFP provides a more precise measurement of total resources collected in the region and comprises four components: 1. Traditional tax revenues from general government, including subnational governments. 2. Public contributions to social security. 3. Mandatory contributions to private social security schemes. 4. Non-tax revenues from natural resource exploitation. Following the upward trend since the 1990s, the average EFP for 25 countries increased by more than 6 percentage points of gross domestic product (GDP), rising from 17.3% to 23.6% between 1990 and 2021. Medium-term dynamics are primarily driven by tax revenues, which grew from 13.5% to 18.0% of GDP over the same period. At the individual country level, there is significant heterogeneity in both the evolution and levels of tax revenues and EFP.
