Chile Finance Ministry to Convene Commission for Administrative Statute Review

Chile's Ministry of Finance is set to establish a new institutional working group to undertake a comprehensive reform of the administrative statute. This move aims to modernize the rules governing public service and is a key component of the government's broader fiscal consolidation strategy.

Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz confirmed the upcoming commission, emphasizing its technical and transversal nature, rather than being exclusively political. He stated the intention is to create an administrative statute that is "coherent with the times."

The commission's work is directly linked to the executive branch's efforts to consolidate public finances. By updating the administrative statute, the government seeks to enhance efficiency and alignment of public sector regulations with current needs and objectives.

Details about the independent economist who will lead the commission and the specific timeline for its convening are expected soon. The reform is anticipated to address various aspects of public administration, potentially impacting hiring, performance evaluation, and management practices within the government.

I will soon convene a transversal commission, led by an independent economist, that will handle the issue of the government's administrative statute. We believe it is extremely important to have an administrative statute that is coherent with the times.
