Abstract
Public sector balance sheets (PSBS) provide a framework for comprehensive and deepanalysis of fiscal risks and policies. To illustrate these benefits, this paper shows how PSBSanalysis can be applied to assess risks to Indonesia's public sector stemming from its publiccorporations. The paper also shows that the government's plans to finance a ramp-up inpublic investment with additional tax revenue increases both economic growth and publicwealth.
