It also aims to encourage the use of hitherto under-exploited administrative sources of migration data, in addition to censuses and surveys.

To fund such social spending, Governments have to build fiscal space. While there are different ways to do so, this paper focuses on revenue mobilization through taxation. The objective of the paper is to analyse the role of tax revenues within a fiscal space context in the Arab region. |
