DBM optimistic tracking system to help boost govt spending

The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) is optimistic the government agency-wide problems in procurement will soon be addressed by newly released guidelines for better monitoring of expenditures under each agency.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the DBM announced that it has released the guidelines for the creation of full-time delivery units (FDUs), a measure meant to ensure proper implementation of priority programs or projects that need close monitoring to help boost public spending and speed up project execution.
