As a result, sub-national governments (SNGs) now account for substantial shares of public expenditures, in particular social and investment ones. This in turn has created growing challenges for macro-fiscal management, as concerns both ensuring medium-to long-term fiscal sustainability, and minimizing the impact of cyclical and commodity prices fluctuations on sub-national budgets. This is illustrated by the effects of the recent global financial crisis on sub-national finances in the region. This paper discusses how fiscal decentralization is affecting macro-economic management in the main LA countries; and which reforms in the existing intergovernmental fiscal systems of those countries could help strengthen their fiscal sustainability, minimize the risk of pro-cyclicality at all levels of government, and create “fiscal space” for active countercyclical responses to economic shocks. 2014-01-02T16:11:41Z 2014-01-02T16:11:41Z 2011-05 Texto Documento Completo http://hdl.handle.net/11362/5344 LC/L.3337 en Serie Macroeconomía del Desarrollo 112 application/pdf AMERICA LATINA LATIN AMERICA ECLAC
