Análise da trajetória e estrutura fiscal do Rio Grande do Norte no período de 2010 a 2021

Abstract

The subject of fiscal responsibility has taken the Brazilian public debate in recent years, and it was based on this theme that public policies and structural reforms were proposed to the Brazilian Congress. As a result of the theme being relevant, through an applied and descriptive research, this work investigates the evolution of the fiscal framework of the State of Rio Grande do Norte between the years 2010 to 2021 based on the information contained in the Summary Report of Budget Execution (RREO) and the Fiscal Management Report (RGF), both authored by the National Treasury Secretariat (STN). The results show a worsening of the state's fiscal framework over the period due to increased expenses and a decrease in revenue after the 2015 recession. Public investment during the period decreased and reached its lowest real level in 2021, demonstrating that the fiscal framework not favorable compromised public investment levels. It is concluded that the state needs to improve savings and liquidity indicators, a challenge for the future. The work contributes to contextualize the economic and fiscal scenario of Potiguar society, elucidating the actions of administrations and their social impact.
