Budget Design for Growth

Draft a framework for evaluating how a national budget should balance short-term stabilization with long-term growth and resilience. Consider how policy levers like taxation, public investment, welfare, and fiscal rules interact with external shocks such as energy price swings and geopolitical tensions. Outline a multi-scenario plan, including qualitative and quantitative indicators, risk budgets, and governance principles to align near-term stabilization with durable growth.
