Expansion / The measure also apply to municipalities, which also on Tuesday will meet with the Executive of the National Commission for Local Administration.
The proposal means that either the Treasury on issuing debt needing other public administrations and they apply a rate of 0%, so the cost of the measure, which is not yet quantified, would move to the state.
The goal is to “contribute to reducing the public deficit of communities and municipalities, optimizing deficit financing and refinancing outstanding debt “, as explained by the Minister Cristobal Montoro these days. The budget not devoted to paying interest, will invest elsewhere.
Treasury has not finalized details of this mechanism, but intends to be approved on Tuesday and the Council of Ministers give green light on Friday, so that you can start using already refinancings that municipalities and communities held from January. It will reach both autonomy included in the Regional Liquidity Fund (FLA) as those who have not made use of this resource. Also serve to welcome the plan of payment to suppliers.

Cost Despite the various costs that this measure might suppose, Montoro says there is still no concrete estimates that are still working on the details of the procedure. It has also indicated that there would be an additional expense to the state.
Thus, in principle the intention is to make the Treasury which is responsible for refinancing the old debt and new releases it taking advantage of the low cost you are currently paying, so that the lowest possible rate applies.
However, when transferring the cost to communities and municipalities not the type of auction apply but 0%, so that a translation of that cost the government deficit would occur, although Montoro not fear that jeopardize the objective of public deficit by 2015, set at 4.2%.
Montoro always defends the efforts being made to reduce imbalances communities, even in the case of not meeting the deficit targets. Measures such as the pooling at a rate of zero percent not encourage the breach of the deficit.
The minister also stressed that the slippage last year was three-tenths of an “important” figure but his judgment does not mean that “there is no control of the communities.” “Another thing is the warning of what may be a departure this year on schedule, demanding goal, and difficulties in achieving the goals coming years,” acknowledged immediately afterwards.
Montoro also He has insisted that the current year should not pose asymmetric targets, or a relaxation of compliance, however much it is “difficult to make and execute budgets in these conditions.”
