Governments express their commitment to managing fiscal risks by publishing fiscal risk statements. These documents also provide a snapshot of the main risks threatening the public finances of a country. The Rwandan Government successfully published its first fiscal risk statement in August 2020.
This webinar features Mr. Thierry Mihigo Kalisa and Ms. Stella Nteziryayo, who have played a critical role in the process, to share their experiences in developing Rwanda¡¯s inaugural fiscal risk statement. Discussants further the discussion by presenting other countries¡¯ experiences and challenges in preparing fiscal risk statements. They will also provide an overview of World Bank tools that support countries in improving their fiscal risks management.
