Jim Brumby of the World Bank says that PEFA has been mainstreamed at the World Bank. PEFA (Public Expenditure and Financial Expenditure) also provides an opportunity for dialog among countries and with donors. Mr. Brumby also asserted that public financial management is the "core of the core" for governance at the World Bank.

Countries like to compare with other countries and see the rate of progress over time. This leverages the objective comparitive information available through PEFA. PEFA also provides discipline in the World Bank to improve internal processes.

Mr. Brumby (standing)said that the country needs to be "in the driver's seat" for PEFA to be effective.
