Fuengirola's City Council Plenary approved the General Account for 2024 with a positive budget result of 16.6 million and a treasury surplus of 51.6 million. The settlement for 2025 is already in process.
The Plenary of the Fuengirola City Council approved this Tuesday the General Account corresponding to the fiscal year 2024 with a positive economic-heritage result of 27,308,719.31 euros and a positive budget performance of 16,624,095.04 euros. The vote passed with the support of the Municipal PP Group, the rejection of PSOE and Hacemos Fuengirola, and the abstention of Vox.
The Councillor for Finance, Rosa Ana Bravo, detailed that these figures, combined with those from previous years, leave a treasury surplus of 51,624,304.77 euros. The municipality has accumulated eighteen consecutive years with all its figures in the positive.
Meanwhile, the Special Accounts Commission has begun processing the settlement for the fiscal year 2025, bringing the City Council's finances up to date.
“These figures reflect the responsible and efficient way in which the government team led by Mayor Ana Mula manages the resources of all Fuengirola residents. This work, along with the commitment shown by our neighbours in meeting their taxes, makes it possible for our city to continue growing and facing future challenges.”
Bravo reminded that the City Council has frozen its taxes, rates, and public prices since 2008. Among the discounts for residents are a 30% reduction in the IBI, waste tax, and vehicle tax, plus an additional 5% for early payment and another 5% for direct debit. The budget allocates 4.7 million euros to these tax incentives.
The average payment period to suppliers stands at 9.24 days, well below the legal limit of 30 days. The Councillor for Finance attributed the strength of the accounts to the tax compliance of the residents and defended the municipal economic model: efficiently managing public resources, maintaining zero debt, assisting families, and ensuring quality services and investments.
