For fiscal economists, the key issues on budget execution are always whether deficit targets are likely to be met, and whether any budget adjustments (both on the revenue and expenditure sides) agreed at the preparation stage (or in-year) are being implemented as planned.
Budget implementation, in the sense of delivering services by undertaking expenditures, is the responsibility of the line ministries and spending agencies, within regulatory controls set by the ministry of finance.
The increase in the revenue of state budget in recent year mostly came from crude oil and land-related collections.
Certain issues in the revenue and expenditure balance, such as some important revenue sources failed to meet the set targets, tax collection showed loopholes in solving tax arrears, and losses in revenue and outstanding debts.
the expenditure for education and training, science and technology, was too low in the period from 2009 to 2013.
The government needs to have solutions for these problems in coming years to soon meet the development of important sectors of the country.
We should ask for stricter punishments on violations of revenue and expenditure, given the current situation of the tensions in the East Sea, which made practicing thrift more drastic.
All policies, which are outdated and ineffective, causing waste to the state budget, should be eliminated immediately
Leaders of organisations found with violations in using state budget must take full responsibilities and audit results must be publicised at local grassroots level.
Boosting tax inspection to solve the losses in revenue and outstanding debts and have more drastic measures to avoid transfer pricing to ensure no loss to the state budget.
