17 Policy Implications Fiscal risk analysis
All countries should seek to increase their use of probabilistic methods Low capacity countries should focus on macro-fiscal sensitivity analysis financial balance sheet disclosing explicit contingent liabilities Intermediate capacity countries should prioritize alternative macro-fiscal scenarios full balance sheets disclosing all contingent liabilities High capacity countries should concentrate on disclosing the size and probability of contingent liability realizations periodic fiscal stress tests 13

18 Policy Implications Fiscal risk management
All countries should strengthen their institutional frameworks and centrally manage their risks Low capacity countries should look to strengthen direct controls and centralize approval of explicit contingent liabilities Intermediate capacity countries should prioritize more effective use of risk mitigation and transfer tools Advanced capacity countries should build risk exposure into fiscal plans 14
