ABOUT THE OPC
The Congressional Budget Office (known by its Spanish acronym, OPC) is an autonomous body of
the Argentine National Congress whose basic role is to provide technical assistance to both
Chambers of Parliament in the analysis and follow up of fiscal matters.
It intends to feed into the legislative debate with technical tools that facilitate the interpretation of the
initiatives that involve public resources, both those that emerge in Parliament or those that come from
the Executive Branch of Government.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND RESOURCES
The OPC was created by Law 27,343 in 2016 with great consensus in Parliament.
It has a separate budget within the Legislative Branch. The General Director is responsible for the
administrative and financial management of the office.
WHAT IS NOT THE OPC?
 Audit institution
 Congressional committee
 Agency that replicates functions of the Finances Ministry
WHO OVERSEES ITS OPERATIONS?
The management of the OPC is supervised by the Parliamentary Oversight Committee,
which includes the authorities of the Budget and Finance Committees of both Chambers of
the National Congress. Its main task is to approve the internal regulations of the Office, its
annual work plan and budget and the accountability for its management. It can formally
request both Chambers the dismissal of any of the Directors due to misconduct.
STRUCTURE
The highest authority of the OPC is the General Director, assisted by four
directors with specific functions in different subject areas: Budgetary analysis,
Tax analysis, Research, analysis and evaluation, and Debt sustainability analysis.
They remain in their positions for five years and are appointed through a
competitive selection process. It also has a permanent staff of twenty analysts
selected by the same way.
REPORTS AND ACCESS TO INFORMATION
 The OPC carries out analyses and projections according to that established in Law
27,343 and upon request of the Budget and Finance Committees of both Chambers.
They are published on the OPC website.
 To develop its work, the law provides for full access to the Integrated Financial
Information System (known by its Spanish acronym, eSidif), the Debt Management and
Financial Analysis System (SIGADE). Additionally the OPC has obtained access to the
National System of Public Investment (BAPIN) and other information systems of the
National Administration (ex. SIFEP).
REPORTS AND ACCESS TO INFORMATION
 The OPC work covers different topics:
 National Administration Budget Draft
 Public Sector Budget execution
 Impact analysis of budgetary management
 Public debt
 Tax policy
 Fiscal federalism and other studies

It intends to feed into the legislative debate with technical tools that facilitate the interpretation of the initiatives that involve public resources, both those that emerge in Parliament or those that come from the Executive Branch of Government.

  • 8. WHO OVERSEES ITS OPERATIONS? The management of the OPC is supervised by the Parliamentary Oversight Committee, which includes the authorities of the Budget and Finance Committees of both Chambers of the National Congress. Its main task is to approve the internal regulations of the Office, its annual work plan and budget and the accountability for its management. It can formally request both Chambers the dismissal of any of the Directors due to misconduct.
  • 9. STRUCTURE The highest authority of the OPC is the General Director, assisted by four directors with specific functions in different subject areas: Budgetary analysis, Tax analysis, Research, analysis and evaluation, and Debt sustainability analysis.
