EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
The primary objective of a TSA is to ensure effective aggregate control over government cash balances. The consolidation of cash resources through a TSA arrangement facilitates government cash management by minimizing borrowing costs. In the absence of a TSA, idle balances are maintained in several bank accounts. Effective aggregate control of cash is also a key element in monetary and budget management. The adoption of TSA in the public sector minimizes transaction costs during budget execution, notably by controlling the delay in the remittance of government revenues (both tax and non-tax) by collecting banks, and making rapid payments of government expenses; facilitating reconciliation between banking and accounting data; efficient control and monitoring of funds allocated to various government agencies; and facilitating better coordination with the monetary policy implementation.
