Santo Domingo.- The National Treasury has disbursed 99.6% of the RD$29,350 million allocated for public sector employees as part of the Pascual Royalty payments. Of this amount, RD$23,767 million was directed to the Central Government and RD$5,592 million to decentralized entities. The remaining funds are expected to be paid later this week, according to National Treasurer Luis Rafael Delgado Sánchez.
Delgado Sánchez explained that delays in bonus payments for certain institutions occurred because they did not submit their payrolls on time. Payment priorities included retirees, followed by members of the Armed Forces and the police force.
Additionally, the National Treasury will receive the NovaGob Excellence 2024 award in Spain on December 12 for third place in the Digital Transformation of Government Payments category, recognizing its Treasury Revenue Collection System (SIRITE). The Treasury was also named president of the Forum of Government Treasuries of Latin America (Fotegal) for 2024-2025 during the XIV Annual Latin American Seminar on Public Treasury Management in El Salvador.
