Plan poboljšanja financijskog upravljanja za novu Vladu
No full textVlada je na sjednici 30. travnja 2015. prihvatila Program konvergencije RH za razdoblje 2015. do 2018. To je drugi Program konvergencije koji je RH izradila kao država članica EU. Najkonkretniji je dio o financijskom upravljanju u kojem su objašnjene glavne promjene u proračunskom sustavu neophodne zbog prilagodbi Europskom semestru. Planirane promjene tek bi od 2016. trebale unaprijediti financijsko upravljanje, a posebice planiranje proračuna, upravljanje javnim dugom i kontrolu rashoda

No full textA parliamentary procedure is currently underway for the adoption of proposals for an Act on Amendments to the Act on Denial of the Right to Increase Salaries Based on Seniority, and Act on Denial of the Payment of Certain Material Rights to Public Service Employees.

Kada obveze iz ugovora o javno-privatnom partnerstvu i koncesijama postaju dio duga opće države?
No full textKorištenje koncesija i ugovora o javno-privatnom partnerstvu (JPP) za financiranje javnih investicija često je motivirano željom vlada da izbjegnu zaduživanje, rast proračunskog deficita i duga opće države. Svrha je rada pokazati statistički tretman transakcija koji proizlazi iz ugovora o koncesiji i JPP-u, a koji bi se zbog nedostatka proračunskih prihoda mogli učestalije koristiti u financiranju projekata od državnog interesa u Republici Hrvatskoj
Budget transparency in Croatian counties, cities and municipalities (November 2014 – March 2015)
No full textDespite improvements in the transparency of local government budgets in the Republic of Croatia, the situation is still far from satisfactory. Some cities and municipalities performed remarkably well, with a special mention being due to Viškovo, one of 428 municipalities, for having published all the requested budget documents. The leader (as regards the average level of transparency for all local government units located in a county) is the Karlovac County and the least transparent are the Split-Dalmatia, Zadar and Bjelovar-Bilogora counties. Viewed by type of local government units, the most transparent are counties; cities are much less so, and municipalities are mostly non-transparent. The results for all counties, cities and municipalities are also shown on the interactive map. The analysis shows that the budget transparency score of a local government unit is not significantly influenced by its population size or its budget performance. It can therefore be assumed that transparency primarily depends on the local government authorities' political will. National and local government authorities use budget transparency to prove their accountability to citizens and gain their trust. Therefore, the Government and Ministry of Finance should tighten the obligation of local government units to publish key budget documents, including citizens’ guides pertaining to them, within predetermined time limits. They should also penalize those units which do not comply with this obligation. Moreover, they should set a good example of the timely publication of key state budget documents, including citizens’ guides, showing to local government units the importance of budget transparency for the efficient and equitable collection and spending of public funds

No full textCroatian Institute of Immunology: where have things got stuck?
No full textThe public is faced with a lot of contradictory information and dilemmas about the status of the Institute of Immunology in the government finance system. The Institute's financial position is unclear, as are arguments for its privatisation or possible reasons for staying in state ownership. This analysis is aimed at briefly clarifying the Institute's financial position and examining the justifiability of its privatisation vs. remaining in the state’s portfolio
Neformalna dugotrajna skrb za starije i nemoćne osobe
No full textStarenje stanovništva glavni je pokretač rastuće potražnje za dugotrajnom skrbi, što vodi do sve većeg pritiska na javne financije. Neformalna skrb za starije i nemoćne osobe stvara mnoge koristi, pa tako i uštede za državni proračun, no u Hrvatskoj se malo zna o problemima s kojima se suočavaju pružatelji neformalne skrbi. U Newsletteru se prikazuju podaci o raširenosti neformalne skrbi, navode raspoloživa prava za pružatelje i primatelje neformalne skrbi u Hrvatskoj, te se predlažu mjere za unaprjeđenje sustava neformalne skrbi o starijim i nemoćnim osobama u Hrvatskoj temeljem primjera iz drugih zemalja EU-a
Citizen Participation in Fiscal Policy and Budgetary Processes in Croatia
No full textThe objective of this paper is to explain the importance of citizen participation in fiscal policy and budgetary processes and to present the results of an online questionnaire conducted at the beginning of 2015 among students in their final years at universities in the Republic of Croatia. Students were selected as representatives of the younger population that were expected to be particularly interested, for they will long have to cope with the consequences of the currently unsound, ineffective and inequitable public finances. The results, however, reveal how little interested and poorly informed the respondents were and, even more, how meagrely they participated in budgetary processes. Although 50% of the respondents thought that it was possible to participate, and 80% that citizens should participate, only 7% had actually tried to. What is more, fewer than 14% of the students regularly kept up with media information about the budget. The knowledge and level of involvement of the respondents were clearly very far from being at a satisfactory level. Because only 16% of the Croatian adult population is educated to tertiary level, it can be assumed that the situation in the population at large is even worse. Although in the last fifteen or so years institutions have been established and numerous measures passed to achieve higher levels of budgetary transparency and greater citizen participation in the budgetary processes, they function at a level well below that which would give grounds for satisfaction
