Overview

This is a collection of contributions from European central bankers concerned with different national monetary and fiscal policies in public sector management. Some of the chapters concentrate on individual national policies and then deal with issues raised by the convergence, which is part of EC harmonization. The book provides an authoritative view from the central banking community, particularly on harmonization of financial policies in the public sector, a major concern of EC policy.
