Continuity was given to the process of reforms in Public Financial Management, initiated in 2002 with the approval of Law no. 9/2002, on 12th February, the SISTAFE Law. According to the diagnostic analysis presented in the “Public Finance Vision: 2011-2025”, a document approved by the Council of Ministers on 19th June 2012, the following progress was achieved: a) Greater quality in the management of tax collection, aid, treasury, payment of salaries, procurement and external audit; b) Improvements in donor practices and predictability of Budget Support and Balance of Payments support, leading to positive effects on treasury management; c) Accounting for the use of external resources in projects financed directly or through later incorporation of balances; d) Progressive breadth, transparency and quality in budget preparation and execution, caused by the expansion of e-SISTAFE; e) Reduced time and greater regularity in reconciliation of accounts, and improvements in the quality of reports, in budget execution and in the preparation of the State Accounts; and f) Improvement of the control and sustainability of internal and external public debt. 110. Despite the progress made, there is still much to do, which is the reason that the MF drafted the Public Finances Vision 2011-2025 that identifies the principal objective aimed to be achieved, and the guiding policy of Public Financial Management. In this way, the document presents the strategic objectives and the vision for each of them, results and indicators to be achieved by 2025. 111. The same document presents the monitoring instruments, key success factors for implementation, as well as risks that could put implementation at risk, namely: o Accumulated Internal revenue collection inferior by at least 10% per year; o Reduction in external financing or significant worsening of current credit conditions; 48
