International Monetary Fund

No 2002/177, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: This paper presents report on the Observance of Standards and Codes—Fiscal Transparency Module for Malawi. A number of improvements have been made to budget management in Malawi in recent years that are increasing the level of fiscal transparency. Notable examples include the development of a sophisticated budget classification system and the introduction of the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) budgeting process. However, the developments have not been applied consistently across the different areas of fiscal management, and there has been insufficient attention to data quality.
