Abstract

Durante el período 1997-2003, posterior al fortalecimiento de la descentralización, se implementaron un conjunto de reglas fiscales subnacionales y en los anos 2011 y 2021 se establecieron reglas fiscales nacionales en Colombia. Este documento evalúa el cumplimiento de dichas reglas en los distintos niveles de gobierno en Colombia, así como el papel que han jugado las transferencias en el cumplimiento de los indicadores establecidos en las mismas. Se evidencia que las reglas fiscales contribuyeron a una mayor estabilidad de las finanzas públicas tanto de los gobiernos subnacionales como del Gobierno Nacional Central. Los cambios en el sistema de transferencias contribuyeron al cumplimiento de las reglas fiscales, al garantizar un crecimiento real de las mismas brindando estabilidad a los ingresos de los gobiernos subnacionales. Las simulaciones muestran que el cumplimiento de las reglas fiscales depende en gran medida del tipo de regla que se adopte, pues mientras los gobiernos subnacionales cumplen con la regla fiscal nacional, el Gobierno Nacional Central no cumple con las reglas fiscales subnacionales. Estos resultados contribuyen al debate sobre la necesidad de mantener reglas fiscales con cláusulas de escape y que consideren las condiciones fiscales y los niveles de gobiernos donde se adopten para lograr la estabilidad de las finanzas públicas. **** ABSTRACT: During 1997-2003, after the strengthening of decentralization, a set of subnational fiscal rules were implemented and in the years 2011 and 2021 national fiscal rules were established in Colombia. This document evaluates compliance with these rules at the different levels of government in Colombia, as well as the role that transfers have played in complying with the indicators established therein. The fiscal rules contributed to a greater stability of the public finances of both the subnational governments and the Central National Government. Changes in the transfer system contributed to compliance with fiscal rules by guaranteeing transfers to grow in real terms and providing stability to subnational government revenues. The simulations show that compliance with the fiscal rules depends to a great extent on the type of rule that is adopted, since while the subnational governments comply with the national fiscal rule, the Central National Government does not comply with the subnational fiscal rules. These results contribute to the debate on the need to maintain fiscal rules with escape clauses and on the need to consider the fiscal conditions and the levels of government where they are adopted to achieve the stability of public finances.
