Cut-Back Management
25-27 June 2012
The huge increase of public debt due to the financial and economic crisis as well as the tightening of fiscal rules in several countries necessitate severe cuts in public spending during the next several years. Proportionally they far exceed cuts that had to be managed during previous economic slumps. This is a huge challenge confronting public officials on the political level as well as within public administrations.
The course will focus on adequate approaches of how to manage this multi-year retrenchment. It will critically analyze past practice of continuing proportional cuts as well as new approaches. Good or at least encouraging international practice in the public as well as in the private sector will be analysed.
