Public finances across many OECD countries are under pressure. High debt, rising spending needs and higher borrowing costs are tightening fiscal space.
How can countries place public finances on a more sustainable footing? And how can they build public support for the reforms needed?
The OECD Forum on Restoring Public Finances will bring together ministries of finance, parliaments, independent fiscal institutions and supreme audit institutions to examine these challenges. Discussions will focus on the actions countries are already taking, what more may be needed, and how clearer communication of data, trade‑offs and the costs of inaction can help build public support.
