Background
• The IMF’s 2016 UK Fiscal Transparency Evaluation said that
– “In many cases, the government’s control of risks falls short of the Code’s standards of good or advanced practice”
– “The absence of summary reporting of specific risks is a weakness that should be addressed”
• The Government has legislated for us to produce an FRR every two years, to which it is obliged to respond
• Several countries already produce risk reports, but usually from their finance ministries or cabinet offices
![Page 3: Our inaugural Fiscal risks report - Office for Budget ...obr.uk/docs/dlm_uploads/Fiscal-risks-July-2017-presentation.pdf · Our inaugural Fiscal risks report . Robert Chote.

Our approach
• The IMF defines fiscal risks as– “the possibility of deviations of fiscal outcomes from what
was expected at the time of the Budget or other forecast”
• In this report we focus on risks– To our latest (March 2017) forecast over the medium term– To fiscal sustainability over the longer term– With greater attention to downside risks in both cases
• We are interested in– Their probability and potential impact– Whether they are correlated with other risks– What the government is doing about them

Types of fiscal risk
• Increases in spending (one-off or persistent)
• Losses of revenue (one-off or persistent)
• ‘Stock-flow adjustments’
– Balance sheet transactions
– Balance sheet transfers (real-world or statistical)
– Balance sheet valuation changes

Spending control
• Departmental expenditure limits (DELs) a strength– But declining share of spending covered– And cash limits on welfare not very successful– DEL limits rarely overspent, but often adjusted
• Local government– Reserves being drawn down– Some risky commercial investment for revenue

Balance sheet risks
• Recent balance sheet shocks– Financial interventions and reclassifications
• Transaction risks– Student loans, financial asset sales, monetary policy and
housing schemes
• Transfer risks– Housing associations and ‘near government’ bodies
• Fiscal illusions– Asset sales, grant-to-loan, guarantees, off balance sheet
