Hi, esmael;

For other members to help you, please be more specific in your request. Tell us the context in which you are seeking support.

If you refer to shadow Governments, here is the link to the UK Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer

The incumbent is Ed Balls: what he had to say against the Government Autumn Statement (MTEF) can be found here:

Thank you very much Napodano. I needed to know the meaning of shadow budgeting in the context of governments and from the donors perspective. Thank you again
