Uribe proposes eliminating departmental comptroller offices to adjust public finances
Former President Álvaro Uribe Vélez presented proposals for the Economic Rescue Law at a meeting with representatives of Abelardo De La Espriella's government, in the context of the fiscal deficit. He proposed eliminating departmental comptroller offices, a measure backed by Senator Hernán Cadavid that would seek to save about 3 trillion pesos. He also proposed expanding the Simple Taxation Regime, bringing back the "three VAT-free days" and reducing the size of the state, without placing the entire adjustment on mining and energy reinvestment. The government agreed to study the proposals.
