Levy says evaluating spending is the next step.
“Setting goals and monitoring the evolution of average ENEM scores, indices such as PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), and other public health indicators, are a good way to assess whether public spending is producing the changes we desire in the quality of education and health of the population,” argues the Minister of Finance, Joaquim Levy.
247 – Finance Minister Joaquim Levy positively assesses the Fiscal Responsibility Law, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary. According to him, the measure allowed the government to be more efficient and helped the country achieve investment grade status.
Now, Levy states that the next step is to evaluate public spending: “Setting goals and monitoring the evolution of average ENEM scores, indices such as PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), and other public health indicators, are a good way to assess whether public spending is producing the changes we want in the quality of education and health of the population,” he says in an interview with Globo.
Regarding the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), which pointed out that the previous economic team had committed "fiscal maneuvers," Levy says that "this concern is an example of how Brazil has reached a very positive level of transparency and accountability" (read here).
