Análisis del impacto del índice de desempeño fiscal en el crecimiento económico de los municipios de la provincia Metropolitana de Santander durante los últimos cinco años

Abstract

The results of the Fiscal Performance Index (FPI) are a key factor in evaluating the administrative and financial management of municipalities (DNP, 2023). This project analyzes the impact of the FPI on the economic growth of municipalities in the Metropolitan Province of Santander, identifying internal and external factors that influence these results. The main objective is to establish how fiscal performance impacts local economic development, providing useful information for the design of more effective public policies regarding territorial finance (Gómez, 2022). The research is conducted using a descriptive approach with a case study, using the last five years as a reference (Martínez, 2021). The theoretical framework is based on public financial management and fiscal decentralization, highlighting that efficient resource management can promote greater economic growth (Rodríguez, 2020). In this sense, the aim is to identify the impact of the IDF indicators on variables such as public investment, job creation, infrastructure, and quality of life. The findings will allow us to characterize common patterns among municipalities, differentiating those with better financial practices and more sustainable local policies. Furthermore, the results are expected to contribute to strengthening municipal management and designing strategies that boost regional economic development (López, 2019). The analysis shows a positive relationship between fiscal performance and economic growth, highlighting that financial efficiency, savings capacity, and public investment are crucial factors in improving the quality of life in the Metropolitan Province of Santander.
