The proposed consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 amounts to $756,000. This amount includes $641,000 from the Joint Resolution General Fund, $55,000 in Revenue from Internal Sources and $60,000 from Other Income.

Operational Expenses reflect a reduction of $59,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012 due to the loss of a non-recurrent allocation mandated by Act 112-2001. These resources will be used to cover the Institute's operational expenses and will allow the Agency to meet its goal of coordinating the statistics of the Goverment of Puerto Rico.

Revenue from Internal Sources is generated from agreements with public and private entities that include: specilized training, consulting services and publications about the economy.

The Other Income represents the surplus from previous years.
