Abstract

This paper analyzes the effect of concessional public debt (CPD) and grants on the cyclicality of fiscal policy in the Franc Zone from 1994 to 2020. Using pooled mean group (PMG) estimators with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors, the main findings show that CPD is systematically associated with procyclicality, for both the discretionary component and automatic stabilizers. Conversely, grants tend to have a countercyclical effect, mainly through automatic stabilizers. ressource distribution equality favors countercyclicality, while corruption reinforces procyclicality. These results imply that aid modalities influence fiscal space. They suggest prioritizing grants for social spending, relaxing loan conditionalities during recessions, and strengthening institutions.
