Mr. Gleb Shymanovich

World Bank, Poverty and Equity Program in Central Asia

Abstract

The presentation will include results of the Commitment to Equity analysis for Kyrgyzstan, which is a distributional analysis of fiscal policy in the country. This methodology employs micro-data from the integrated households budget survey to analyse re-distributive effects of the fiscal policy. Hence, the presentation will provide an example of the empirical research that can be carried out based on the households’ budget survey data. It will also discuss the efficiency and loopholes of fiscal and social policies in terms of poverty and inequality reduction.
