The Autonomous Fiscal Council warned that the reconstruction project creates deficits until 2031. Former ministers like Mario Marcel and José de Gregorio called for a broad agreement to reduce uncertainty.
The Senate Finance Commission received a new report from the Autonomous Fiscal Council on Monday. Paula Benavides, CFA president, stated that the fiscal deficit from the project's measures would persist at least until 2031. Benavides recommended an agreement containing measures to close the current deficit and keep debt below its prudent level. Mario Marcel, former finance minister, warned that approval by a narrow margin would not clear tax uncertainty. José de Gregorio, former Central Bank president, valued the corporate tax cut but flagged fiscal risk. Opposition senators such as Paulina Vodanovic proposed a technical table similar to the one for the pension reform.
