Descrição
Resumo:The General State Budget, traditionally enacted by law in Ecuador before 2008, is now merely an "instrument" of complex legal nature, used for planning state revenues and expenditures. This planning should, at least in theory, be the product of a technical study and the result of intelligent planning aimed at satisfying the greatest possible number of public needs with the resources actually available. In this sense, public procurement has a dual connotation: it is a permanent mechanism of public management that results in budgetary expenditures, and at the same time, a tool for achieving the objectives of the state's fiscal policy. From any perspective, public procurement must be not only sustainable but also responsible. The criteria of responsibility guide the development of this article.
