Over the past 30 years, this seminar has become a key fixture on the agenda of fiscal policy events in the region. Throughout these three decades, the successive editions of the seminar have served as a forum for national authorities, tax experts and officials from international organizations to discuss the performance, challenges and opportunities of fiscal policy; and it has enhanced policy design and management in the individual countries.
