Heading towards the budget of the City of Paris in 2025
The 2025 budget project was developed with two main objectives: on the one hand, continue to ensure a high level of public services for Parisians and, on the other hand, continue investments in favor of the ecological transition and housing . The City of Paris continues more broadly to implement measures in favor of solidarity to protect the most vulnerable Parisians, in a context marked by the effects of inflation and a disengagement of the State which is confirmed year by year. in year.
Actual operating revenues stand at 9,839.5 million euros, up by 16.1 million euros, or 0.2% more compared to the initial 2024 budget (BP 2024), mainly due to the legal indexation of tax bases (+33.6 million euros) as well as the expected increase in revenue from concession fees (+40.6 million euros). These increases are reduced by the drop in tourist tax income after a year 2024 marked by the hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (-50.0 million euros).
Real operating expenses increase by 0.1% (+11.8 million euros compared to BP 2024) to stand at 9,268.2 million euros. Gross savings reached 571.3 million euros, an increase of 4.3 million euros compared to BP 2024.
The level of real investment expenditure excluding loan repayment is set at 1,713.9 million euros (compared to 1,789.7 million euros in BP 2024, or -75.8 million euros). The City has chosen to maintain a high level of investment to continue implementing the priority projects of the mandate. With this 2025 budget, the City of Paris is giving itself the means to respond to the challenges of climate change and its socio-ecological impacts for an even more united, caring and dynamic city.
Actual investment revenue stands at 456.9 million euros, down by 112.1 million euros compared to BP 2024, mainly due to the drop in capitalized rents (-99.0 million euros).
The capacity to finance investments amounts to 1,028.1 million euros. It covers 60% of real investment expenditure (excluding loan repayment), with gross savings contributing 33.3%.
The borrowing authorization is set at 993.8 million euros. Based on bank and bond debt of 8,733.1 million euros as of 1is January 2025, and assuming saturation of the borrowing authorization in 2025, the total debt as of December 31, 2025 would amount to 9,356.8 million euros.
Household waste management: objective of 100,000 tonnes less waste
The local program for the prevention of household and similar waste (PLPDMA) constitutes the Parisian strategy to combat the production of waste and to promote the reuse and material and organic recovery of those which are nevertheless produced.
Since 2006, the City of Paris implemented three waste reduction plans which successively enabled a reduction in household waste of 6.3% between 2006-2010, 7.5% between 2011-2015 and 13.8%. % between 2017-2023.
The ambition of the new plan is to reduce the production of household and similar waste by Parisians by at least 100,000 tonnes by 2030, and to triple the rate of material and organic recovery of their waste by this time.. These objectives will contribute, in line with the objectives of the 2024-2030 Climate Plan, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to waste treatment by at least 32% by 2030.
This program combines prevention measures – reduction, reuse, repair, fight against waste – and measures relating to the quality of sorting, prior to recycling and material and organic recovery.
8 axes to reduce waste
– Consume differently to promote an economy of reuse and repair, by generalizing local and home collections, by continuing to support actors in the social and solidarity economy (ESS) and by developing repair workshops;
– Reinvent sorting at home by strengthening efforts on sorting packaging with the zero waste building project;
– Lead professionals towards zero waste ;
– Change outlook and behavior on food waste by fighting against food waste, by developing collection points and composting solutions;
– Sort everywhere in public spaces by offering more sorting solutions and deploying an anti-butts plan;
– Make the building sector a sober sector in materials by accelerating reuse on City of Paris construction sites, but also among individuals;
– Encourage Parisians to become waste experts to publicize the drop-off locations closest to their home;
– Make Paris an exemplary community by extending reuse and the circular economy to all city departments and community agents.
Furnished tourist accommodation: lowering of the rental ceiling from 120 days to 90 days per year
As of September 30, 2024, 95,344 furnished tourist accommodations were registered on the City of Paris teleservice, including 78,301 declared as main residences, or more than 82%.
To date, the law provides that these can be rented without authorization for change of use within the limit of 120 days per year. The rental of these main residences for 120 days per year in Paris therefore represents an excessively high potential of nearly 9.4 million annual nights, for a passing clientele, mainly tourists.
Renting the main residence is a source of significant nuisance for local residents, due to noise and excessive use of the common areas of the buildings. It also has a strong impact on neighborhood life and urban diversity, leading in particular to an evolution and specialization of local businesses towards meeting the needs of this clientele.
In addition, the rental ceiling of 120 days per year, which is also the highest in Europe, is not consistent with the usual periods of unoccupancy of accommodation, which are weekends and vacation days. leave.
The lawo 2024-1039 of November 19, 2024 gives municipalities the possibility of lowering this ceiling, within a limit of 90 days. This reduction is consistent with the essence of a collaborative economy, which must allow the rental company to have additional additional income, and not to carry out an activity whose income would be of a professional nature in terms of their amounts.
Finally, lowering the threshold will also make it more difficult to commit frequent fraud which consists of declaring a property as a main residence and renting it out on several platforms in parallel, and thus renting it out for the year in contravention. with the law.
Consequently, the City of Paris wishes to lower the rental ceiling for the main residence to 90 days on its territory. This new ceiling will come into force from 1is January 2025.
