The Legislative Assembly approved, with 56 votes, an amendment to the 2026 Budget Law to allocate US$80 million to the Ministry of Economy. These funds are earmarked to address needs related to investment facilitation, business competitiveness, productive innovation, and digital transformation.
According to statements made during the 106th plenary session, the allocation responds to needs deemed urgent and strategic within the economic sector, particularly to strengthen actions that contribute to improving investment conditions.
It was explained that the funds come from a financing source based on the issuance of securities, a mechanism previously authorized by the Legislative Assembly.
On april 15, the deputies approved the issuance of US$100 million in securities, to be placed in the national or international market, with the objective of generating resources for strategic priorities and needs in social, environmental, and economic sectors.
Of that amount, US$80 million will now be incorporated into the budget of the Ministry of Economy to support specific actions related to investment facilitation.
Among the objectives set for these resources are strengthening business competitiveness, promoting productive innovation, and advancing digital transformation processes considered linked to economic development and strengthening the investment environment.
Investment facilitation, as proposed in the plenary session, requires budgetary coverage during the current fiscal year to address identified needs in this area.
Although the details of specific projects were not elaborated upon in the proposal presented, the funds are intended to support strategic actions within the economic sphere.
This budgetary allocation is also part of a broader strategy for using financing to address priorities considered urgent or impactful for various sectors.
In this case, the focus is on strengthening conditions that can attract investment, improve productive capacity, and promote tools related to economic modernization.
The digital transformation mentioned within the allocation of funds also aims at processes geared toward incorporating technology, efficiency, and new capabilities into economic and business dynamics.
With this reform, the budget for the Ministry of Economy is reinforced with additional resources intended to support actions that seek to strengthen competitiveness and address identified investment needs.
The measure approved by the legislators thus allows for directing funding toward economic priorities that, as stated in the plenary session, require attention during the current fiscal year.
