Strengthening Analytical Capacity for Tax Policy and Macroeconomic Modeling in Panama
The general objective of this TC is to strengthen the analytical capacity of the Republic of Panama to sustain its fiscal consolidation path. The specific objectives are: (i) to develop a technically sound methodology for measuring and evaluating tax expenditures, including the definition of a benchmark tax system; (ii) to prepare a comprehensive technical study of the structure of the corporate income tax (CIT); and (iii) to develop macroeconomic models—including tools to simulate external shocks and a long-term structural model—that strengthen the Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF).By the end of the project, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) is expected to have these methodologies, the CIT study, and the macroeconomic models operational and integrated into its technical work, supporting the fiscal consolidation path of the Republic of Panama. The result of the Technical Cooperation (TC) is to build integrated and permanent institutional capacity within the MEF.
