Abstract (Translated): 
The Constitutional Funds were established by art. 159, item I, paragraph c of the Federal Constitution of 1988 with the objective of contributing to the "reduction of inequalities" existing between the peripheral regions of the North, Northeast and Center-West vis-à-vis the central regions of the Southeast and South. In this sense, its role as a financier of productive investments in these peripheral regions has increased in recent decades. Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to understand the spatial profile (municipalities and immediate regions) of Mato Grosso, through some socioeconomic variables, in which FCO disbursements were distributed between 2002 and 2018. Additionally, to verify how the FCO variables and GDP behaved in the same period in certain regions with different profiles in the period from 2002 to 2018. Therefore, the argument woven in the work started from the premise that the Mato Grosso productive structure is marked by an economic formation rooted in a late economy, underdeveloped, dependent and, therefore, it presents a structural heterogeneity that sets limits to the reach and depth of penetration of technical progress in Mato Grosso's productive units. Finally, it is observed that, it is observed that the municipal groups reconstructed as thought concrete express structures that reproduce patterns of an underdeveloped economy, which is marked by a structural and productive heterogeneity, in which they coexist, in the same space and time, the modern and the backward, that is, productive units that have been gripped by the modernizing forces of technical progress, as well as others that are still rooted in traditional and subsistence economies. For example, Rondonópolis is a specific, but not unique, case of a pattern of capital reproduction, in space and time, which reinforces the argument that the resources directed by FCO are boosting locations that have productive units integrated with the various market structures. In other words, FCO resources are reinforcing modern production structures, which maintain close ties with links in national and international production chains. On the other hand, in those locations that have less favorable socioeconomic indicators, such as Confresa - Vila Rica and Peixoto de Azevedo - Guarantã do Norte, a potential inducing role of FCO is observed, given the record of higher average rates of variation of FCO loans and GDPpc. Therefore, in those regions that are on the margins of the process of capital accumulation in Mato Grosso, it can be seen that fractions of the FCO are possibly influenced (or being influenced) by the increase in the gross domestic product per capita of these locations
