Public spending, for its part, increased by 27.3% to reach 2781.1 billion (excluding expenditure financed from external resources). In addition, an increase of $416.1 billion (+25.2%) was recorded thanks to the good collection of resources attributable to budgetary revenues driven by an increase in tax revenues (+28.3%).
