Ministerio de Finanzas Públicas promotes transparency with Citizen Budget project tweets

The Ministerio de Finanzas Públicas has used its official Twitter account to inform citizens about the proposed 2026 Citizen Budget and legislative initiatives aimed at tax administration. The tweets, published between November 2 and November 3, 2025, detail efforts to increase transparency in public spending and government processes.

On November 2, the ministry posted: "El Proyecto de Presupuesto para el Ciudadano 2026 te ayuda a comprender cómo se construye el presupuesto , en qué se planea invertir y cómo puedes participar en su seguimiento . Conoce el Proyecto de Presupuesto para el Ciudadano 2026: https://t.co/qcaBzcXrij https://t.co/3OXVfou8Ok". This message encourages citizens to learn about the structure of the national budget and how they can be involved in monitoring its implementation.

A subsequent tweet on November 3 addressed tax policy reform: "La iniciativa de ley para agilizar la devolución de impuestos busca la simplificación de pasos y promover la gestión transparente del Gobierno del presidente @BArevalodeLeon. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero @jmenkos @GuatemalaGob https://t.co/XMR2XiF9Bd". The ministry highlights a legislative initiative intended to streamline tax refund procedures and foster transparent governance under President Bernardo Arévalo's administration.

Later that day, another post explained how public funds are allocated: " Descubre en qué se propone invertir los recursos que provienen de tus impuestos y cómo se planea transformarlos en bienes y servicios como educación , salud e infraestructura a través del Proyecto de Presupuesto para el Ciudadano 2026. Abre el enlace https://t.co/EJSrOEXeqG". The tweet outlines plans for investing taxpayer resources in areas such as education, health, and infrastructure through the Citizen Budget project.

The Ministry of Public Finance regularly uses social media platforms to provide updates on fiscal policy and promote citizen engagement with government budgeting processes. These communications are part of broader efforts by the Guatemalan government to improve transparency and public participation in financial decision-making.
