Five billion euros. This is the minimum amount of effort that will be required of local authorities to restore public finances in 2025, confirmed during the presentation of the 2025 finance bill by Michel Barnier, the Prime Minister, Thursday October 10, 2025.

The Intercommunalités de France association, which brings together nearly 1,000 intercommunalities out of the 1,254 in the Francetook out his calculator to estimate the amounts that local authorities would have to pay to finance this effort.

Several million euros locally

According to calculations by Intercommunalités de France, Toulouse metropolis would thus be contributed to the tune of 13.9 million euros.

For the department of Haute-Garonnethe effort required could reach 32.5 million euros. Still according to calculations by Intercommunalités de France, the Occitanie Region would pay 50.9 million euros.

Sébastien Vincini, president of the Departmental Council, also reacted strongly to this announcement.

A financial situation due to the mismanagement of the country for 7 years. »

Pour Jean-Luc Moudenc, mayor of Toulouse and president of Toulouse metropolis“Reducing our resources would be a catastrophe in terms of public investment, especially for the many French people who need the public services that we provide for their daily lives. By placing the burden on communities, it will once again be local taxpayers who will suffer. »
