The Marbella City Council has given the green light to the fundamental lines of its accounts for 2027, with a revenue forecast of €457 million. The document, approved this Tuesday, includes a 4.5% increase and a non-financial spending limit of €417 million.
The Local Government Board of Marbella approved this Tuesday the fundamental lines of the municipal budgets for 2027, which include a revenue forecast of €457 million. According to Diario Sur, this figure exceeds the current year's by €44.17 million and the final estimate for 2026 by €26 million.
The municipal spokesperson and councillor for Finance, Félix Romero, explained that the document marks the “starting gun” for the preparation of the accounts, which will be the last of the 2023-2027 term. The approval of these lines is a legal requirement that must be sent to the Ministry of Finance before October 1, in accordance with the Budgetary Stability Law.
Among the key figures, the non-financial spending limit will be set at €417 million, with a budget variation rate of 4.5%. Romero emphasized that the projections from municipal services point to a favourable scenario, with an increase in investments of 41.34%.
The City Council expects to maintain a positive financing capacity of around €7.5 million, and the closure of the 2026 fiscal year could yield a surplus of €31 million. Romero noted that this allows for facing 2027 with a “more ambitious scenario than we initially anticipated.”
“The goal is to have a sufficiently worked draft to propose its initial approval in October,” Romero advanced.
After the initial approval, a round of discussions will be opened with the opposition groups to complete the processing in December, so that the budget is operational by January 1, 2027. In the provincial context, these accounts are the second highest in Málaga, only behind the capital, and the highest in per capita terms.
