The main publication of the Economic Committee, the 2007 report focuses on public sector governance and introduces structural reform and the regional changes that have been acting as drivers for the new structural reform focus of the Economic Committee (EC). The report also discusses how a whole-of-government approach can increase the effectiveness, support, and potential success of a structural reform program and explores how economies may address the short-term costs that reforms may generate by displaying commitment to implementing reforms across the whole of government and by transparently communicating the longer term benefits to the population.
