The Office of Planning and Budget (OPP) (Spanish: Oficina de Planeamiento y Presupuesto) is the agency responsible for advising the Government of Uruguay in the formulation of national and departmental plans, programs and policies as well as in the definition of the Government's economic and social strategy.
Headquartered in the Executive Tower, Montevideo, its head is appointed by the President of the Republic at the beginning of the mandate. The position has the same requirements as that of Cabinet Minister and, in practice, has a similar hierarchy. He usually participates in the meetings of the Council of Ministers. The current head is Fernando Blanco, who has held the position since December 15, 2023.[1]
