From the supplier: Most economic programs supported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are based on fiscal adjustment. The main objective of all adjustment programs is to strengthen public sector savings which, in turn, is intended to increase available domestic and foreign resources, as well as to support productive public investments. The IMF conducted a study of 23 low-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America that have adopted IMF-supported programs for the period 1986-91 to assess fiscal developments in these countries. The study found that the usual strategies used by governments to reduce and finance budget deficits are raising tax revenue and cutting expenditures. Results also show that relatively small improvements in key fiscal indicators have been achieved in these nations. Findings, however, should be interpreted keeping in mind the success of many of these countries in restructuring their economies.
