• The assumptions of the economic package are relatively optimistic on two fronts: i) an economic growth 1.2 percentage points above the consensus of analysts, and ii) an oil production of 1.86 million barrels per day
• For this reason, it would be desirable that, once the economic growth figures for the first quarter of 2021 are available, adjustments be made to meet fiscal goals, if necessary
