Expenditure reviews

On the presentation of its national budget for 2010, the government announced that it would undertake expenditure reviews about the volume and level of collective expenditures in the Netherlands. The worsened position of government finances means that we must make some fundamental choices about the future. To accomplish this, 20 working groups have been created to develop concrete policy variants in 20 policy fields and to present ways to reduce expenditures, leaving the ultimate choice up to politics.

This section contains information on the operation expenditure reviews; about the cause and background, the what and how, the working groups, the task and the organisation and process of the operation.
