Does GRA advise governments on budgets?

No. GRA does not advise governments on budgets. 

GRA does not provide budget advice, fiscal planning, expenditure recommendations, tax policy advice, appropriation recommendations, departmental budget design, public investment prioritization, treasury direction, or public accounts advice. 

GRA may help public-sector and financial-services participants understand systemic risks that can affect public balance sheets, infrastructure exposure, disaster losses, insurance gaps, contingent liabilities, resilience investment needs, and public-good finance-readiness. 

That is not budget advice. 

A government, ministry, municipality, treasury, legislature, public agency, or public finance institution must use its own lawful processes, advisers, mandates, public consultation, fiscal rules, and approvals when making budget decisions. 

GRA should not be cited as recommending budget allocation, fiscal appropriation, public funding, tax change, debt issuance, or spending priority. 

Public finance learning is allowed. Budget advising is not.
