The need for budget reform is growing, but securing public support for reform is becoming harder. How can governments get the public onboard for difficult budget choices?
In this episode, OECD hosts Ricardo and Scherie discuss the findings of the OECD report The People and the Budget: Empowering Public Understanding of Public Finances. They explore why technical debates about public finances often fail to connect with citizens, and how clearer communication, stronger engagement and more effective fiscal institutions can help build support for long term reforms and sustainable public finances.
Hosts:
Scherie Nicol – Senior Policy Analyst, Public Management and Budgeting
Ricardo Silva Pereira – Communications and Publications, Public Management and Budgeting
