Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review the fiscal performance compared to urban municipalities of “Gran Mendoza” (Capital, Guaymallén, Godoy Cruz and Las Heras) and to analyze different indicators of fiscal sustainability and its application to the current and future situation of them. From the analysis of the consolidated public debt and its relationship to the financial performance of the respective municipalities, the prospects solvency of each of them are analyzed to determine the necessary fiscal efforts to resume the path of sustainability. Certainly the effectiveness of budgetaryl and tax policy, and the level of public spending clearly affect the results of management, but there are also other aspects such as the selection of alternative ways to finance public spending and debt management that impact on the financial performance of municipalities.
