Análisis de las finanzas públicas del cantón Manta soporte al crecimiento económico 2017- 2021.

Abstract

Public sector entities within their budgetary management should consider elements such as solvency, fiscal balance, leverage and planning as such. The central objective of this study is to analyze public finances within the GAD of Manta and its impact on the generation of economic growth, period 2017-2021. Within this scope it is highlighted that, between the period 2017- 2021 the budget of the Gad of Manta experienced a relative growth of only 3.31% and, within the period of analysis in relation to the budget structure of the GAD the investment expenditure has a share of 66% of the total budget, this investment expenditure is the basis for the implementation of plans, programs and public works projects that have a close relationship with the improvement of the quality of life of the Mantense population and economic growth as such. Basic remunerations, infrastructure works and floating debt are the items of the expenditure budget that have the highest participation within the GAD, while transfers from the central government and general taxes have the highest representation in terms of income items. There is a high dependence on resources from the central government, and therefore less financial autonomy. Therefore, a good management of public finances, as well as a better budget execution, allow the city to generate economic dynamism and social welfare, without leaving aside the planning concepts delimited in the PDOT 2020-2035 of the Gad de Manta.
