The new "MTEF Blog" has started posting about "Public Expenditure Management, Medium-Term Expenditure Frameworks and All Things Fiscal" on August 1, 2008. Not surprisingly, the first posts published were about what is an MTEF and discussed MTEF implementation in a few countries, including in Laos. From there, the MTEF Blog broadened the scope of its posts to cover many other fiscal issues: accountability, fiscal rules, the Government Fiscal Statistics for Mauritius (and the IMF ROSC data module for Mauritius), a (of course, rather old) video interview with Milton Friedman, etc. This is by and large consistent with the objective set for itself by MTEF Blog in its August 1 post: "This blog is an aggregation point and a discussion forum for latest research on public expenditure management and multi-year budgeting practices. "
PFM blogs particularly likes the rich list of PFM relevant links in th eright column of MTEF Blog.
MTEF Blog is published by "MAI." Regrettably, the MTEF Blog's profile does not provide information on who MAI is.
PFM Blogs welcomes the arrival of MTEF Blog among the still relatively short list of blogs focusing on public financial management and wishes full success to its author.
