OECD Journal on Budgeting, 2022, vol. 22, issue 1

Abstract: This article discusses how budgeting systems can be better prepared for national (and global) emergencies such as COVID‑19, with special reference to the health sector. What spending modalities and flexibilities were introduced during the pandemic to provide emergency funding for health services? What are the emerging lessons? Which of these mechanisms should be sustained or refined in the future to enhance preparedness and responsiveness in health spending or other areas of budgeting?
