By synthesising theoretical and empirical studies from 2000 to 2024, the review reconciles divergent findings on fiscal rules and independent fiscal institutions (IFIs). Evidence reveals that well-designed fiscal institutions and clearly defined fiscal rules improve fiscal performance, reduce deficits, and enhance debt sustainability. IFIs strengthen accountability, transparency, and policy credibility through credible oversight and fiscal analysis. However, their effectiveness in SSA is often undermined by limited autonomy, technical capacity, political interference and enforcement challenges. The study concludes that enhancing institutional independence, analytical capacity, and integration with fiscal rules is essential for sustainable debt management and macroeconomic resilience. Strengthened fiscal governance and transparency provide a pathway to credible fiscal policy and inclusive economic growth across the region. true true 2026 false true true false true false GOLD 2026-06-04 true https://doi.org/10.14267/RETP2026.01.09 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 C hazai false false false false 2026-06-03T08:47:37.057+0000 Köz-gazdaság szerkesztősége (Kiadók / Önkéntes); Közgazdaságtani Doktori Iskola (SZTE / GTK); Közgazdaságtani és Gazdaságfejlesztési Intézet (SZTE / GTK) 2 23 3 2 0 false Language 10002 /api/language/10002 Angol Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 136880608 /api/authorship/136880608 Wesa, Esau Washipobe [Wesa, Esau Washipobe (Public Funds and ...), szerző] Közgazdaságtani Doktori Iskola (SZTE / GTK) 1 0.5 true false false Author 10092786 /api/author/10092786 Wesa Esau Washipobe (Public Funds and their Auditing.
