Before we ask governments in developing countries to spend money they don't have (fiscal constraints),are there ways for them to restructure and re-purpose existing budgets to more urgent, economy saving actions? Stimulus would come once this first level expenditure restructuring has run its course. Any thoughts on such re-sequencing?
