The Independent Authority for Fiscal Responsibility (AIReF) published the monitoring of the recommendations issued to the General Government in the third quarter of 2024 on its website today, a period in which it made nine new recommendations aimed at strengthening compliance with the expenditure rule, improving transparency and adapting the publication schedules to budget cycle. In its responses, the Government deviated from the recommendation to provide AIReF with more information during the endorsement process.
The Ministry of Finance undertook to partially comply with the recommendation on the expenditure rule and INE agreed to bring forward some of its publications. However, the rest of the recommendations made to the Ministry of Finance and INE, as well as those addressed to the Ministry of Economy, were rejected. At the local level, of the six LGs that received recommendations, the Chartered Council of Gipuzkoa and the Island Council of Majorca expressed their commitment to monitor implementation in order to comply with the expenditure rule.
