Some policy issues (1/4) Grants have an equalisation role Equalisation grants represent: 2.3% of GDP 4.8% of total government expenditure 55% of total intergovernmental grants 8

Some policy issues (2/4) Grants may reduce externalities –Spending or tax –Horizontal or vertical –Matching grants –Are these externalities overestimated? 9

Some policy issues (3/4) Earmarked grants may be used to fund specific policies –Such as: risk sharing, experimentation, co-funding, addressing exceptional situations e.g.: Share of grants to SCGs in national stimulus packages: 10

Some policy issues (4/4) But grants may have unintended side effects –Reducing SCG tax effort –Putting pressure on spending, deficits and debts Thus need a skilful grant design and combining grants with complementary instruments 11
