The National Government carried out the transfer of the first twelfth of the General Purpose Participation of the General Participation System (SGP) for 2026, incorporating an additional 24% within the financial programming profile. This measure temporarily adjusts the programming of the first transfer of the year without changing the total annual amount assigned to territorial entities. The aim is to ease initial cash pressures stemming from the circumstances of the last twelfth of 2025.
Finance Minister Germán Ávila announced that the Government executed the transfer corresponding to the first twelfth of the General Purpose Participation of the General Participation System (SGP) for fiscal year 2026. This action incorporates an additional 24% within the financial programming profile, in compliance with current regulations and respecting the annual allocation established for each territorial entity.
In an official statement, it was emphasized: "We reiterate our permanent willingness for technical dialogue with mayors, mayoresses, and finance secretaries, in a spirit of institutional co-responsibility. We firmly believe that territorial strengthening is built with clear rules, fiscal discipline, and concerted solutions within the legal framework".
The measure does not alter the total annual amount assigned but makes a temporary adjustment to the programming of the first transfer of the year. This aims to mitigate cash pressures at the start of the fiscal period, resulting from the situation in the last twelfth of 2025. Specifically, the Government transferred $1.01 trillion corresponding to January, and from now on, the coming months will receive $0.82 trillion each.
This initiative strengthens the financial capacities of municipalities and departments, keeping SGP resources for 2026 on a growth path within the current fiscal framework. The announcement is part of efforts to promote fiscal discipline and institutional dialogue with local authorities.
