IS PRIVATE FINANCE AND PUBLIC FINANCE
THE SAME??
SIMILARITIES
1. Both public finance and private finance involve financial decision-making. In both fields,
decisions are made based on available information, economic conditions, and financial
objectives.
2. Both fields require financial analysis and forecasting. Financial analysis is used to evaluate
the financial health of an organization, while forecasting is used to predict future financial
trends and outcomes.
3. Both fields use similar financial tools and techniques, such as budgeting, accounting,
financial reporting, and financial planning.
4. Both public finance and private finance require financial accountability. In public finance,
government officials are accountable to taxpayers for how public funds are used, while in
private finance, managers are accountable to shareholders for the financial performance of
the company.
5. Both fields are impacted by economic conditions such as inflation, interest rates, and
financial markets. Economic conditions can affect revenue and expenditure decisions,
financial planning, and financial risk management.
DIFFERENCES
1. Public finance is subject to more regulations and public scrutiny than private finance. This is because
public finance involves the management of taxpayer funds, which must be used in the public interest.
2. Public finance has different sources of revenue and expenditure compared to private finance. Public
finance relies on taxes, fees, and government borrowing to fund public goods and services, while
private finance relies on personal income, corporate profits, and investments.
3. Public finance has different objectives compared to private finance. The main objective of public
finance is to provide public goods and services, such as education, health care, and public safety. The
main objective of private finance is to maximize profits.
4. Public finance has a different budgeting process compared to private finance. In public finance, the
budget process is often more complex and involves multiple layers of government and stakeholders.
In contrast, private finance often has a simpler budgeting process that is controlled by the
management of the company.
5. Public finance faces different financial risks compared to private finance. Public finance is exposed to
political risks, such as changes in government policies or political instability, which can impact
revenue and expenditure decisions. Private finance is exposed to
HOW IS PUBLIC FISCAL MANAGEMENT
IMPORTANT?
1. Economic stability: Effective public fiscal administration can contribute to economic stability by promoting sound
macroeconomic policies and avoiding fiscal crises. This can in turn foster economic growth and reduce poverty.
2. Inter-governmental relations: Public fiscal administration is important for managing the relationships between
different levels of government (e.g. federal, state, and local) and ensuring that resources are allocated fairly and
efficiently. This can help avoid duplication of efforts and promote coordination between different levels of
government.
3. Risk management: Public fiscal administration helps governments identify and manage financial risks, such as
fluctuations in revenue or unexpected expenses. This can help governments avoid financial crises and maintain
fiscal sustainability.
4. Public sector performance: Effective public fiscal administration can contribute to improved performance in the
public sector. This includes ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and effectively, and that public goods
and services are delivered in a timely and cost-effective manner.
5. International cooperation: Public fiscal administration is increasingly important in the context of globalization
and international cooperation. This includes ensuring that governments meet international financial reporting
standards and promoting transparency and accountability in international financial transactions.

Governments also establish institutions such as central banks and financial regulators to oversee the
financial system and ensure its stability. Central banks are responsible for managing monetary policy,
which involves controlling the supply of money and credit to promote economic growth and stability.
Financial regulators, on the other hand, oversee financial institutions and markets to ensure their
stability and protect consumers.

KEYNESIAN ECONOMICS
John Meynerd Keynes
CENTRAL IDEA
One of the central ideas of Keynesian economics is that during periods of economic
downturns or recessions, government intervention is necessary to boost aggregate demand
and stimulate economic growth. This can take the form of increased government spending,
tax cuts, or monetary policy interventions by the central bank. Fiscal planning and
management involves making decisions about government spending and taxation policies,
so an understanding of Keynesian economics is essential for designing effective policies that
can promote economic growth and stability.

CONCEPT:
Keynes, J. M. (1936). The general theory of employment, interest and money. Palgrave
Macmillan.
Keynesian economics argues that economic output and employment are primarily
determined by aggregate demand, which is the total amount of goods and services that
consumers, businesses, and governments are willing to purchase. In a recession, Keynesians
argue that there may be insufficient aggregate demand to generate full employment and
output, leading to high levels of unemployment and idle production capacity.
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
(PPP) PROGRAM
This program was initiated in 2010 with the aim of harnessing private sector resources and
expertise to improve public infrastructure and services. Through this program, the
government has successfully implemented projects such as the NAIA Expressway, the Cavite-
Laguna Expressway, and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Terminal. These projects
have helped improve connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and boost economic growth in
the country.
BACKLASHES OF FISCAL ADMINISTRATION
1. Revenue mobilization: Governments need to collect sufficient revenue to fund public services and infrastructure.
However, many countries struggle with low tax compliance rates, weak tax administration, and informal economies that
are difficult to tax.
2. Public debt: Many governments have high levels of debt, which can have significant economic consequences if not
managed properly. Debt service can become a burden on public finances, and high levels of debt can lead to reduced
investor confidence and lower economic growth.
3. Corruption and fraud: Corruption and fraud can occur in any public financial management system. This can take the
form of embezzlement, bribery, or other forms of financial mismanagement. Corruption can undermine public trust in
government and divert resources away from public services.
4. Inefficient spending: Public spending can be inefficient or wasteful if not properly managed. This can lead to poor
quality public services, ineffective public programs, and reduced public trust in government.
5. Lack of transparency and accountability: Lack of transparency and accountability in public fiscal administration can
hinder effective public financial management. It can also lead to the misuse of public funds and reduced public trust in
government.
6. Limited capacity: Many countries struggle with limited capacity in public financial management, including insufficient
human resources, weak institutional structures, and inadequate financial management systems. These factors can limit
the effectiveness of public fiscal administration.
