It is the opposite of flexible expenditure used for funding new challenges which the government has to face. The paper emphasizes the need to carry out reforms to expand the ‘space’ for free decision making with regards to budgetary policy.It also discusses methods of increasing the flexibility of the state budget expenditure.
