Ministro Quiroz acusa errores de cálculo en el déficit fiscal del año anterior

El ministro de Hacienda Jorge Quiroz señaló graves errores en los cálculos de la administración anterior, lo que eleva el déficit fiscal proyectado para este año a 2,4 puntos del PIB.

Según el Informe de Finanzas Públicas, el ministro Quiroz corrigió los cálculos y determinó que Chile terminaría el año con un déficit de 2,4 puntos del PIB en lugar del 1,5 originalmente previsto.

El anuncio se produce en el contexto de discusiones sobre el aumento de la deuda pública y una megarreforma fiscal.

El informe destaca que los errores detectados corresponden a la gestión previa y afectan las proyecciones actuales del gobierno de José Antonio Kast.
