Union methodology
The Secretary of Coordination and Governance of the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, Elisa Leonel, said in a statement that there are fundamental distinctions between budgetary and accounting concepts that are often confused in public debate.
She evaluates that the Central Bank methodology is not the correct way to analyze the state’s financial health. “Loss and profit are measures that we use to monitor financial performance of companies”, these.
“If we are going to look at private companies, no company discloses this deficit metric […] If a private company makes an investment from funds that it has accumulated in cash, it may present a deficit that year, because in terms of revenues and expenses of the year, that investment is high. But that does not mean that it is a company with operational problems or in its financial performance ”said the secretary.
The Central Bank does not detail the information by state, because, according to technicians of the monetary authority, there is no access to this type of information. The responsibility would be the Executive Power, especially SEST (Secretariat of Coordination and Governance of State Companies).
