From the supplier: Leaders in the West Bank and Gaza face many challenges as they take over financial responsibility from Israel. The Palestinian authorities' success in efficiently mobilizing domestic revenue and prudently managing public expenditures could be crucial in establishing the credibility of the new Palestinian Authority. More importantly, this success would provide the needed assurances not only to external aid donors committed to financing the bulk of the public sector investment program, but also to private sector investors, especially among Palestinians living abroad, to exploit the long-neglected investment opportunities in the West bank and Gaza. The effective use of external funds in the initial period, given the paucity of domestic resources for investment, is critical for laying the foundation for a strategy of accelerated growth in later years.
