A. M. The Legislative Assembly of El Salvador has approved the transfer of US$15 million from the Ministry of Finance to the Presidency of the Republic. The measure, supported by 57 votes, seeks to strengthen the public and social policies of the Executive Branch, ensuring that available state resources are used efficiently and transparently in programs that directly benefit the population.
These funds come from allocations that the Ministry of Finance had not used in the current fiscal year. Their reallocation to the Presidency will strengthen the design and implementation of plans and programs that have a significant impact at the national level. The main objective is to promote economic development and ensure the well-being of salvadoran families without incurring new debt.
The reform to the 2025 Budget Law optimizes the use of state resources, allocating these funds to address priority needs. The initiative ensures that public funds are invested in concrete actions that improve citizens’ quality of life and strengthen the country’s economy. This approach seeks more agile and effective financial management.
According to Article 226 of the Constitution of the Republic, the Executive Branch is responsible for directing and administering public finances with criteria of efficiency, transparency, and effectiveness. By supporting this transfer of funds, the representatives demonstrate their support for the presidential administration to carry out more actions for the benefit of Salvadorans, fulfilling its constitutional mandate.
