Features: When Clinton came to power in 1992, he proposed "Reinventing Government," elevated "Performance Budgeting" to the forefront, and passed the "Government Performance and Results Act." At the same time, a National Performance Review Committee was established, chaired by Vice President Al Gore, to oversee and implement performance budgeting. The core of establishing a government expenditure performance evaluation system lies in integrating some concepts of the modern market economy into budget management, enabling government budgets to function like corporate finances, providing internal control over government actions. Through this internal control, it ensures the achievement of government goals, improves government operational efficiency, promotes the transformation of government functions, and enhances the coordination between the government and the market.
