Modern laws make the General Budget much more important than a mere legal tool which establishes a financial forecast for a certain period.
It is an economic, planning and management policy tool. For its design, the Provincial Budget Office carries out various tasks such as: studying proposals made by the Minister of Economy about the Provincial Public Budget and analyzing and evaluating laws – required to be approved by the PBO and the general Provincial treasury.
The Office also provides counsel to every public agency and carries out the duties as a controlling authority pursuant to Law 11.192 on Consolidating due obligations as of 4/1/91.
