    La Agenda 2030 de forma implícita plantea una serie de políticas económicas que conceden al Estado un rol prominente para alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo sostenible (ODS). Este artículo profundiza en algunos aspectos clave de la Agenda 2030 desde la perspectiva de la política económica. Específicamente, el trabajo se centra en tres aspectos: i) la compatibilidad/incompatibilidad entre los distintos ODS; ii) los instrumentos necesarios para maximizar el impacto en cada uno de ellos; iii) el rol clave de la intervención pública. Los resultados muestran que a día de hoy es difícil definir estrategias multidimensionales para un impulse integral de los ODS, que e lEstado debe jugar un papel central en el terreno productivo, además de en las dimensiones social y ambiental, y que debe plantear políticas expansivas en materia monetaria y fiscal para configurar un panorama económico adecuado, así como desarrollar políticas comerciales y laborales orientadas que potencien su efecto redistributivo y medioambiental, de cara a maximizar su impacto en los ODS.

    The 2030 Agenda implicitly establishes a series of economic policies that give the State a prominent role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper delves into some of the key elements of the Agenda from an economic policy perspective. Specifically, it focuses on three elements:

    i) the compatibility/incompatibility relationships between the SDGs; ii) the instruments necessary to maximize the possibilities of achieving them; and iii) the key role of public intervention. The results show that it is still difficult to establish multidimensional strategies that enhance the comprehensiveness of the SDGs, that the State must play a key role in the productive field, in addition to the social and environmental spheres, and that it must pursue expansionary monetary and fiscal policies to set a proper economic landscape, as well as commercial and labor policies that foster redistributive efforts and environmental sustainability, in order to maximize SDGs accomplishments.
