Resource revenue management and
allocationAndrew Bauer
Economic Analyst, NRGI
Outline• Macroeconomic management in
resource-rich settings• Complications• Revenue allocation
StoriesChile Azerbaijan
The budget cycle
Budget formulation / Fiscal framework
But what if you’re in a resource-rich setting?
Challenges
• Short-term: Dutch disease and ‘absorptive capacity constraints’
• Medium-term: Volatility• Longer-term: Exhaustibility
Oil starts flowing
Inflow of foreign
currency
People and capital move from other sectors to the
oil sector
Value of domestic currency rises and/or
inflation rises
Export industries
become less competitive and decline
Dutch disease and ‘absorptive capacity’

Fiscal Framework Compliance Mechanism: Fiscal Rules
• (Structural) (non-resource) balanced-budget rule – Chile, Norway
• Debt ceiling – Australia, United States• Expenditure rule – Botswana, Peru• Revenue rule – Ghana, Timor-Leste

Expenditure volatility with and without a fiscal rule
• Principles sources of risk• Interest rates• Maturity (roll-over
problems)• Currency composition
(foreign exchange risk)• Institutional structure (Ministry
of Finance, central bank, or separate entity)
• Transparency and oversight• Reporting• Annual independent audits
to international standards• Parliamentary, media, and
civil society oversight
Operationalizing a fiscal rule: Debt management
Deposit Rules
Withdrawal Rules
National Resource Funds
Foreign investment Domestic Expenditure
Investment Rules
Operationalizing a fiscal rule: Sovereign wealth fund management
Some have helped countries escape the “resource curse.”• Chile• Norway• Some Persian Gulf states• Several U.S. states
Others have been mismanaged, not met objectives or become slush funds.Some in : • Central Asia (e.g., Russia)• Latin America (e.g.,
Venezuela)• MENA (e.g., Libya)• SE Asia (e.g., Brunei)• Africa (e.g., Equatorial
Guinea)
What has made the difference are the rules, institutions and broad-based
consensus.
SWF successes and failures
• Ghana• Norway• Mongolia (starting
discussion)• Sao Tome and
Principe• Timor-Leste
Building consensus around the macroeconomic framework and SWF governance
Exercise: Part I
• National oil company withdrawals or retention for investment, extra-budgetary projects or fuel subsidies • Gazprom (Russia)• GNPC (Ghana)• NNPC (Nigeria)
• Subnational or household distribution• Canada• Indonesia• Mongolia
Complications: Pre-savings challenges
National Oil Companies
Commercial
Regulatory
Operational
• Sell government share of crude oil or minerals
• Manage state equity participation
• Negotiate oil or mineral licenses • Regulate the sector• Monitor compliance to regulations
• Participate in exploration, development and production activities
Development • Capacity building in the industry• Local content promotion• Corporate social responsibility
initiatives
National Oil Companies – Mandates
Weak capacity
Lack of market checks
Lack of oversight
Poor or missing rules
Political interference
Poor decisions
Poor revenue collection
Weak oil sector and inefficient project development
Drain on public finances
Corruption, patronage and mismanagement

discretion
• Norway (Statoil): Behaves as a private entity• Russia (Gazprom): Improving efficiency, but “insatiable appetite for
investment”• Algeria (Sonatrach): Bulk of revenues (exports) are surrendered to the Bank of
Algeria for monetary objectives; source of patronage
• Mexico (Pemex): Parliament passes NOC budget every year• Kuwait (KOC): Capital expenditure set by government • Kuwait (KOC): Costs, 10% for NRF, 50 cents per barrel and revenue from sales
to refineries deducted from transfer to government• Ghana (GNPC): Max 55% of returns retained

Who has resource revenue sharing?
• Compensation to producing areas for costs of production (e.g. environmental damage; jobs lost)
• Equalization of benefits between richer and poorer regions
• Conflict reduction or prevention
• Decentralized accountability to citizens / improved spending efficiency
Why share oil, gas or mineral revenues?
• Clear objectives
• Indicator- vs. derivation-based formula
• Matching revenues with objectives, needs and expenditure responsibilities
• Generating incentives to spend well
How to share resource revenues?
Brazil (oil, gas and minerals): A case of derivation
• Shared taxation: Royalties, land fees and provincial corporate income tax go to provinces; some corporate income taxes go to the federal government
• Intergovernmental transfers through equalization payments (resource revenues left out of formula)
• Not much conflict over revenue sharing due to formula and shared benefits
• Large expenditure volatility and over-consumption in Newfoundland and Alberta (until recently)
• Provincial authorities captured by oil or mining industries in resource-rich provinces
Canada: A case of equalization (sort-of)
The case of Libya
Alaska (USA)
Mongolia
Bolivia
Direct distribution / cash transfers
• Are local governments entitled to a portion of oil, gas or mineral revenues? Why or why not?
• Can revenue sharing be used as a tool to reduce conflict between regions? If so, how?
• Should a share of oil, gas and mineral revenues be distributed directly to each citizen equally? Why or why not?

‘Investing in investing’
Consumption Investment
Consumption or investment?
Spending:Balancing consumption and investment
• Rules are important for stability, efficiency and depoliticization– Allocation of revenues– Governance of sovereign wealth
funds, state-owned companies, and the budget
• Need consensus from relevant stakeholders on rules to promote compliance
• Strong institutional structure, independent oversight and transparency to enforce the rules
Takeaways: Managing revenues before they are allocated through the budget
