It is reminded that Public investment refers to the application of financial resources by the State in projects and activities that seek to improve general well-being and satisfy the needs of the population. It involves the acquisition of goods and the development of activities that increase the State’s assets or its capacity to provide services.

These projects may include infrastructure construction, the provision of public services, investment in human capital, among others.
