He Governmentunder the administration of President Javier Milei, has made the decision to eliminate three trust funds due to irregularities detected in their operation. This measure was made official through Decree 6/2025, published in the Official Gazette, and is based on the results obtained in an audit carried out by the General Audit Office of the Nation (SIGEN).
The trust funds eliminated by the Government They are the Universal Service Trust Fund, the Social Housing Trust Fund and the Rural Development and Family Agriculture Program Trust (PRODAF). The main objective of these funds was to finance development programs in key areas such as information and communication technology, social housing and family farming.
The Universal Service Trust Fund, created under Law 27,078, had the purpose of developing information and communication technologies, guaranteeing complete network neutrality. However, the audit of the SIGEN revealed that several associated programs lacked instruments to justify their continuity and did not meet the stipulated objectives.
On the other hand, the Trust Fund for Social Housing, generated by Law 27,341, was intended to finance social housing and basic infrastructure programs with public, private and international organization funds.
The audit detected completed works that did not have the corresponding accounts and projects terminated without return of funds. Finally, the PRODAFwhose mission was to facilitate access to credit for the beneficiaries of the Rural Development and Family Agriculture Program, was considered expendable after having met its initial goals.
The audit carried out by the SIGEN highlighted various irregularities in the administration of these funds. In the case of the Universal Service Trust Fund, the existence of programs prior to the year 2021 that were in execution during 2024 was detected, without any instrument providing for their extension.
Investigation
In addition, cases were identified of projects approved as beneficiaries of the fund without being able to substantiate this condition, since the regulatory requirements established for their inclusion in the benefits were not met.
Regarding the Trust Fund for Social Housing, works were found completed without final surrenders by the executing entities and projects terminated without return of the sums contributed by the fund. These deficiencies in administration and failure to meet the objectives for which they were created led to the decision to dissolve these funds.
