WILLEMSTAD – Implementation of Curaçao’s financial reform roadmap remains behind schedule, according to the fourth-quarter execution report. Several key reforms aimed at improving budget discipline, internal control and accountability have not progressed as planned.
The delays are linked to capacity constraints, overlapping reform trajectories and the absence of permanent leadership in critical financial positions. In some cases, ministries are effectively monitoring their own progress, limiting independent oversight.
The government acknowledges that without sharper prioritization and stronger coordination, the risk of further delays remains, potentially affecting future audit outcomes and confidence in public financial management.
