Thus, Navarro reported that while each Murcia joined in 2008 in the municipal coffers an average of 549 euros in taxes and fees, investment per capita reached only the amount of 130 euros, as reflected in the General Account of last year.

Investment expenditure

On the other hand, continues to Navarro, in the chapter on investment, the amount spent by the City Council in 2008 was € 56,043,585, amount spent through the chapters VI (actual investment) and VII (transfers of capital) budget municipal spending.

The result of that lump sum divided among the inhabitants of the municipality is 130 €.
