Finance bill for 2016 (PLF 2016), performance data

Description

The LOLF (Organic Law of 1 August 2001 on Finance Laws), which introduced new rules for drawing up and implementing the State budget, also introduced a performance approach to improve the effectiveness of public policies. This is why new tools have been created to objectively measure public performance. Each programme is associated with objectives, defined at national level and broken down into operational objectives for the departments and operators implementing the policies. For each objective, concrete, relevant and reliable indicators measure the results of the policies pursued. These indicators are accompanied by targets, which programme managers commit to in order to increase the performance of their actions. In order to meet the expectations of all - citizens, users and taxpayers - the administration has set itself three types of objectives, addressing socio-economic issues, quality of service and management efficiency. Thus, the annual performance reports (APRs) present the results of the administrations with regard to the commitments made in the initial budget law. In particular, they make it possible to assess the improvement in performance by comparing, ex post, the results against the commitments made in the annual performance projects (APPs) included in the budget ‘blues’ per mission. **This database is extracted from the “Farandole” application, a budget input tool used jointly by the Budget Directorate and the Ministries and adapted for the production of budget documents. It presents all the tasks and programmes as well as the objectives and associated indicators, which are presented in the performance part of the PAPs annexed to the 2016 draft budget law. These documents are available on the Public Performance website:** The performance measurement system is part of a multiannual perspective linked to the three-year timeframe of the State budget, presenting achievements on the one hand and forecasts on the other. Thus, each indicator used in the PLF of year N is associated with a target value to be achieved by the end of the three-year period. The forecast data for the years N+1 and N+2 and the output data for the years N-1 and N-2 must make it possible to assess the trajectory for achieving the objectives. A special effort has been made by the Budget Directorate to rationalise the indicators provided, in the interests of readability, relevance and reliability. Thus, for the total State budget, the 2016 PLF includes 755 indicators, a decrease of more than 22% compared to the 2014 PLF, which included 967 indicators.
