The 2027 budget is beginning to take shape under conditions the government itself describes as difficult. Growth is expected to remain low, unemployment stands at 9.5%, and public debt is high.
Spending will be minimal.
Despite that pressure, the government says “spending will be minimal.” The Finance Ministry is working on a reordering of resources guided by a clear formula: “not spending more, but spending better.”
Not spending more, but spending better.
