It explains the process of the Federal Budget , its content and criteria used to decide: Who spends it?, What is it spent on?, How is it spent? and where is it spent?. The Citizens Budget can be downloaded for viewing on iPad with dynamic texts and images. This booklet summarizes the information contained in the Citizens Budget.

This year was published the first edition of the Citizen Public Account, which explains the destination and results of resources exercised during 2012. It shows the main results of macroeconomic indicators, public finance and federal program goals, as well as the resources transferred to the states.
