Summary:

Worldwide experience highlights public finance policies that promote economic growth while meeting the need for fundamental public goods. The Eastern European and Central Asia countries pioneered flat income taxes without generally suffering revenue losses as a result, but they have not addressed the problem of high payroll taxes and still face many hurdles in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public spending and revenue generation.
