A. M. The legislators of the Finance Committee issued four favorable rulings that will allow government institutions to execute different projects for the benefit of the population and achieve their objectives through a budgetary reinforcement amounting to US$53.9 million.
This important capital injection seeks to ensure that key ministries and other entities have the necessary resources to develop initiatives that have a direct impact on the wellbeing and progress of the salvadoran population.
The Ministry of Finance has been able to identify available allocations within its current budget that will not be used in the current fiscal year. These funds, which would otherwise remain unused, will now be redirected to strengthen the institutions that most require capital to carry out their essential functions and strategic projects for the benefit of the citizenry.
Specific allocations include US$4 million for the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Justice and Public Security, respectively. The Tourism portfolio will receive US$3 million, while the Ministry of Health will obtain US$8 million and the Ministry of Economy will be reinforced with US$16 million, highlighting the priority given to these fundamental areas for national development.
Likewise, the Comisión Ejecutiva Hidroeléctrica del Río Lempa (CEL) and the Ministry of Public Works will each receive a reinforcement of US$2.2 million. The largest single allocation will go to the Presidency of the Republic, which will have US$16.7 million, thus consolidating the financial support for the operations and projects of the highest governmental authority.
The budgetary reinforcement is crucial given that several public sector institutions face priority and urgent financial commitments that require urgent financial coverage to ensure compliance with their institutional objectives and goals for the remainder of the fiscal year.
