The Report of the National Commission on Public Finance (NCPF) on Sound Public Finance and Public Accountability in Aruba

The sustainability of the financial positioning of the public sector of Aruba is of utmost importance to Aruba’s economy. In this report therefore the Commission attempts to review the development of the public sector over time and to compare it with a number of comparable countries in order to form a judgment on the size of the government sector (See benchmarking table). Ideally, in order to form such an opinion, the objectives and core tasks of the government and the productivity per employee need to be defined and assessed first. The Commission understands that the government is undertaking such a detailed study. It is encouraged to execute the study and produce the results by July, 2007
