Costa Rica’s digital treasury transformation is driving the modernization of public financial management (PFM) with the support of FreeBalance.

- gestionar los recursos financieros y humanos de forma más eficiente y eficaz

- facilitar la toma de decisiones con una plataforma centralizada e integrada
- adecuar más eficazmente los recursos a la carga de trabajo para aumentar la productividad.
En will transform government financial management in Costa Rica at the strategic and operational levels. The project is also expected to have far-reaching benefits outside government operations:

- Costa Rican citizens will gain visibility into how public funds are collected, invested, and impact their lives
- customer service oriented attention will be embedded in all government units, reducing transaction costs and increasing citizen satisfaction.
