description Since the promulgation of the 1991 Constitution, public spending has increased due to a series of rights that the government must guarantee to the population. According to Mauricio Cárdenas, former Minister of Finance, this situation led to an increase in these expenditures, which in the nineties of the last century led to a notable fiscal deficit and forced the government to implement a series of reforms and measures to alleviate the fiscal situation. One of these initiatives was the signing of a macroeconomic adjustment agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1999, which led to the formulation of the Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF) and the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).

According to Mauricio Cárdenas, former Minister of Finance, this situation led to an increase in these expenditures, which in the nineties of the last century led to a notable fiscal deficit and forced the government to implement a series of reforms and measures to alleviate the fiscal situation. One of these initiatives was the signing of a macroeconomic adjustment agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1999, which led to the formulation of the Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF) and the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). Desde la promulgación de la Constitución de 1991 se incrementó el gasto público debido a una serie de derechos que el Gobierno debe garantizar a la población. Según Mauricio Cárdenas, exministro de Hacienda, esta situación llevó a un aumento de estas erogaciones que produjo un déficit fiscal notable en los años noventa del siglo pasado y que obligó al Gobierno a implantar una serie de reformas y medidas para paliar la situación fiscal. Una de esas iniciativas fue la firma de un acuerdo de ajuste macroeconómico con el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) en 1999, que dio origen a la formulación del Marco Fiscal de Mediano Plazo (MGMP) y al Marco de Gasto de Mediano Plazo (MGMP).
