  25. RMI Policy Issues FISCAL MANAGEMENT ISSUES/OPPORTUNITIES Infusion of additional resources supports previously unplanned expenditures in FY13: • $3 million from World Bank (ICT reforms); • $5 million from ADB as 2nd tranche of PSP • Large surplus from Vessel Day Scheme (VDS), US treaty and $5,000 VDS rate; (MIMRA revenues in FY12 over $10 million) Similar infusions likely in FY14: • $5 million possible from World Bank (ICT reforms); • ~$2 million from continued large surplus from VDS with anticipated increase to $6,000 daily rate. • $1 million from Papua New Guinea 24

  26. RMI Policy Issues DECREMENT MANAGEMENT & LONG-TERM PLANNING RMI implementation of the MTBIF could have addressed 1st step of the requirement for a decrement management plan • Line agency ownership and leadership adoption were absent • Budgets did not reflect commitments • Table submitted to USG in late July based on the Fiscal Management Model provided only a medium-term revenue forecast • Most recent update came late and fell short of extensive requirements RMI needs to develop, for its own benefit, a technically proficient long-term fiscal and planning framework with demonstrated broad ownership. Unallocated Compact resources (~$1.8 million) should not be committed at least until RMI has confidence in its own plan. 25
