independent fiscal institution

An independent fiscal institution is a non-political organization that provides expert analysis and monitoring of a country’s government finances. Its role is to ensure transparency, accountability, and sound fiscal management by assessing government budgets, debt levels, and economic forecasts. Because it operates independently from political pressures, it helps promote responsible fiscal policies and increases public confidence in financial decisions. These institutions support informed debate and decision-making by providing unbiased, data-driven insights into a nation’s fiscal health.
