The process of amending an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and understand the significant change in placement considerations. Learn when it is appropriate to amend an IEP, examples of non-significant changes, and the reevaluation required for significant changes. Discover how to identify a significant change in placement and examples of such changes. Delve into IEP procedures and definitions to ensure effective IEP modifications."

Fiscal risks: COVID-19 pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the public finances through increased spending and reduced revenue collection, and through contingent liabilities turning into actual liabilities.

General macro-economic risks Analysis and quantification Historical evidence of economic shocks can be analyzed by comparing expectations with outcomes. Governments can assess their fiscal exposure to macroeconomic risks by means of: Sensitivity analysis shows the impact of small changes in key macroeconomic variables, taken one at a time, on government revenues, expenditures or debt. For example, lower GDP growth or higher oil prices. Scenario analysis is the design of alternative combinations of macroeconomic variables to illustrate the fiscal impact of adverse developments in key macroeconomic parameters. For example, a low growth scenario including contingent liability realization. Stochastic analysis derives a probability distribution of future debt stocks based on stochastic simulations of key variables, explicitly capturing the volatility and co- movements of key macroeconomic. Stochastic analysis could be expanded to include endogenous fiscal responses by governments.
MacroeconomicShocks: What is a Fiscal Stress Test? The stress test applies a large, correlated macroeconomic and asset price shock, combined with a contingent liability realization, to assess what fiscal impact there might be during an extreme macroeconomic event. Three Elements to a stress test Large macro-fiscal shock Contingent Liability Shock Impact of the shocks to the government s balance sheet Three summary outputs Fiscal Solvency Government liquidity needs Financing burden
How does the COVID-19 pandemic affect the economy? Containment measures Supply Demand Factory and mine closures Copper demand and prices Quarantines Travel bans and restrictions Cutbacks in services Confidence Closure of public places Supply chain disruption Business and tourism travel
How to model this? Two supporting approaches 1. Estimatingsectoral impactunder differentcombinationsof stringency and duration 2. Estimatingthe production function for longer-run effects. GDP at Constant Prices 11,960.0 9,960.0 7,960.0 5,960.0 3,960.0 1,960.0 -40.0 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Sector Approach Trend PF Approach Once we have the GDP framework, we can link the fiscal framework with the GDP components, using proxy bases,buoyancies,and effectivetax rates. 7 IMF | Fiscal Affairs
The Structure of FADs Fiscal Stress Test Tool GDP scenarios Stringency vs Length lockdown Revenue implications (Effective Tax Rates) Expenditure implications (Links with Health) Net Lending or Borrowing Balance & Debt This approach allows quick demonstrations of different scenarios and requires only modest customization. However, the tool is unlikely to be integrated into macro-fiscal forecasting processes.
