With 12.6 million euros in revenue for 9.7 million euros in expenditure in 2023, the municipality’s operating budget generates 2.9 million euros in management savings. Taxation represents 78% of the City’s revenue. We optimize operating expenses to maintain the margins of maneuver essential to carry out our program
explains Delphine Amelot, financial management assistant. The City maintains a controlled debt repayment capacity.
However, the debt reduction capacity increases from 5.7 years in 2022 to 7 years for the 2023 accounts. “We have the sixth lowest property tax rate in the Metropolis,” adds the chosen one.
On the expenditure side, the increase is 11.36% over one year. We have €413,000 more in energy costs than 2022 and very significant food inflation. Personnel costs increase by €240,000, or 4.1%.
The change in the index point and the increase in restaurant vouchers partly explain this development. The deputy announces a significant drop in the cost of energy of around 25% for 2025.
