Performance-based Budgeting: China’s Experience
Abstract
China is a highly populated country that is currently undergoing institutional transformation and changes in economic growth model. Dealing with the interrelated problems of rapid urbanization, rural and agricultural development puts a large strain on public fi nance. China’s budget system is highly fragmented and authoritarian, with a fragmented informal institutional environment. A few years ago China has begun to gradually reform its budget system in accordance with the principles of Performance-based Budgeting. General strategy of this reform is to launch Performance-based Budgeting in several experimental zones, thus starting a “chain reaction” through which the reform would spill over to other levels of the budget system, facilitating positive structural changes within the government body.
