Countercyclical fiscal policy during good times has been a key factor affecting the ability of commodity exporters to sustainably support economic activity when prices started declining. Fiscal space to withstand the next shock has narrowed in many emerging and developing economies (EMDEs) and may also be constrained by contingent liabilities stemming from exposure of state-owned enterprises and public and systemic banks to the commodity-sector. Fiscal consolidation is still necessary in many commodity-exporting EMDEs to reduce debt risks, rebuild fiscal and external buffers, and facilitate access to affordable financing. Fiscal policy should particularly aim at reducing the high volatility of public investment spending in commodity-exporting countries, both in good and bad times. 650 4 Commodity Prices 650 4 Debt Management 650 4 Fiscal Policy 700 1 Ayivodji, Firmin. 700 1 Essl, Sebastian. 700 1 Galego Mendes Galego, Arthur. 700 1 Matta, Samer. 700 1 Richaud, Christine. 830 0 Other papers. 830 0 World Bank e-Library. 906 BOOK
