2 World Bank Operaion Objecives and Consrains The 2009 Fiscal and Public Secor Reform Loan for Alagoas aims o assis he sae governmen in implemening public financial managemen and relaed reforms. The governmen requesed a wo-ranche operaion of US$195.5 million (oal). The financing package will also creae fiscal space for he governmen, enabling public invesmen, and helping o ensure ha he governmen remains in compliance wih applicable fiscal limis i.e., he Fiscal Responsibiliy Law (FRL). Based on he fiscal and deb susainabiliy analysis, he proposed operaion would saisfy all crieria for engagemen wih sub-naional governmens, as agreed under he World Bank s Counry Parnership Sraegy, which requires Bank lending o be consisen wih credi ceilings specified in he sae s fiscal adjusmen program, and subjec o Naional Treasury approval. 2

3 Background and Conex Unil he lae 1990s, expansionary fiscal policies by Brazilian saes, and a lack of effecive conrols over heir borrowing pracices resuled in frequen deb crises. On hree occasions 1989, 1993, and 1997, he Federal Governmen had o assume and reschedule debs of several imporan saes. The larges operaion ook place in 1997, when he Federal Governmen resrucured R$ 200 billion abou 12% of naional GDP in debs owed by 25 saes, including Alagoas. 3

4 Background and Conex A Bailou Program of Fiscal Adjusmen (PAFs) The 1997 refinancing operaion refinanced Alagoas debs for 30 years. Refinanced deb inra-limie deb carries a real ineres rae of 6%, wih he nominal value rising wih inflaion (i.e., inflaion-indexed deb). Deb service is capped a 13% of NCR; anyhing above ha is recapialized and added o he inra-limie sock. A he end of he conracs in 2028, if here are residual deb balances, he Sae mus pay off he remainder wihin 10 years. The bailou resuled in hree-year rolling Programs of Fiscal Adjusmen (PAFs), which se annual arges for indebedness, primary balances, personnel spending, ax revenue, and public invesmen, and included srucural reforms such as privaizaion and oher public secor modernizaion iniiaives. The PAF included he following arges: PAF Targes Deb / NCR <238% Primary Balance R$ 2.1 B Personnel Expendiures / NCR <60% Revenue Collecion R$ 21 B Curren Expendiures / NCR <36% 4

5 Background and Conex B Fiscal Responsibiliy Law (FRL) In 2000, a Fiscal Responsibiliy Law was enaced, enshrining hard budge consrains, and explicily prohibiing refinancing operaions beween levels of governmen o address moral hazard creaed by frequen bailous in he pas. The FRL includes he following key limis: Personnel Expendiures Ne Consolidaed Deb Deb Service FRL Limis <60% NCR <200% NCR <11.5% NCR *The FRL will serve as he key benchmark for fiscal susainabiliy. 5

6 Fiscal Performance For 2 decades, Alagoas has been one of he wors performing saes in Brazil in erms of fiscal performance. Excessive personnel expendiures have resuled in coninuous deficis, high deb, low raes of public invesmen, and poor oucomes in erms of povery and developmen. This poor economic and fiscal performance resuled in repeaed breaches of FRL indicaors i.e., ne consolidaed deb levels and deb service boh breaching relevan indicaors. FRL Limis Personnel Expendiures <60% NCR 66.8% 59.6% 50.2% 50.2% 57.7% 55.8% Ne Consolidaed Deb <200% NCR 277.0% 264.0% 225.0% 222.0% 202.0% 197.0% Deb Service <11.5% NCR 15.2% 11.7% 13.4% 11.8% 14.5% 14.1% 280% 270% 260% 250% 240% 230% 220% 210% 200% 190% Ne Consolidaed Deb / NCR % 16% 15% 15% 14% 14% 13% 13% 12% 12% 11% Deb Service / NCR % 65% 60% 55% 50% 45% Personnel Expendiures / NCR

7 Fiscal and Deb Susainabiliy Analysis A muli-sep approach was used o develop he susainabiliy analysis: i. Assess fiscal and deb susainably under a baseline scenario (w.r.. FRL indicaors). ii. Assess fiscal and deb susainably (w.r.. FRL) under alernaive reform scenarios, assuming he implemenaion of he WB operaion and associaed reform program (e.g., impac on revenues, personnel expendiures, overall fiscal ouurns). iii. Consider he impac of poenial shocks o macroeconomic variables. Policy Reform Scenario The susainabiliy analysis considers he impac of he WB operaion under boh he baseline and policy reform scenario. The objecives of reforms argeed by he operaion include: Increasing efficiency of ax collecion Changing pension fund policy (reducing benefis) Improving conrol of payroll oulays Imposing a rule o dicipline salary increases Improving he efficency of public invesmen 7
