Maintaining the disability goal was a policy decision that was discussed before massa With the political wing of the ruling coalition, including that direct conversation with Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in the Senate before taking charge of the Palacio de Hacienda. In return, Massa promised to discuss general guidelines for revenue and expenditures to achieve this deficit target, including developing various sections to increase revenue that are already under discussion within and outside the executive branch. Among them, accelerating the nationwide revaluation of real estate, a financial maneuver that must close before December 31 this year, so that new money from the greater tax pressure enters public coffers in the corresponding liquidation of personal assets. 2022. For this, some governments will have to speed up the implementation of the re-evaluation, which is not very popular.
The deficit will be accompanied by other key data within the 2023 budget: an overall growth of 3%, an accumulation of reserves of $4,000 million, and a cash issue of no more than 0.6%. In short, all that was signed in the Guzmán negotiations that closed on March 25.
