Carlos Gossmann

Carlos Gossmann is the coordinator of the Public Budgets and Human Rights area at the Central American Institute for Fiscal Studies (Icefi). He is known for his expertise in public finance and governance, focusing on budget execution and transparency in governmental spending. Recently, he highlighted the low execution rates of budget allocations to the Departmental Councils for Urban and Rural Development (Codedes) in Guatemala, attributing it to poor preparation and lack of planning for projects, which raises concerns about the efficiency and accountability of public spending.
