The Councilor for Finance and Contracting, Eduardo Martínez-Oliva, informed this morning the Board of Government of the latest report of Airef
The Ministry of Finance and Public Administrations approved last August 21 the Financial Economic Plan (PEF) presented by the City of Murcia, and obtained the approval of the municipal plenary session in the ordinary session on 28 July.
The Economic and Financial Plan complies with the fiscal rules in accordance with the regulations established in article 21 of the LOEPSF, and for this purpose the compliance projections are presented without any action being taken, since it ensures compliance with the fiscal stability rules and spending rules
According to published data, the City of Murcia will move from having a deficit of 147 million in 2016 to an estimated surplus of 5 million euros in 2017.
Currently in Spain they have PEF for breach of the objective of stability and spending rule Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Zaragoza, Malaga, Murcia, Palma de Mallorca, Bilbao and Alicante, among many others.
Regarding the degree of fulfillment of the objectives of the last four years (2012-2016), Airef itself acknowledges in its report that Murcia has fulfilled the objectives without taking into account the operation of building the tram, a non-recurring operation charged in 2016 .
"Both the approval by the Ministry of the PEF of the City of Murcia without any measures, such as the determination established in the report Airef that the City of Murcia will have in 2017 an estimated surplus of 5 million euros, corroborate everything that was manifested in its day by the Government Team, in the sense that the indebtedness imputed by the tramway investment is virtual, "explained Councilman Martinez-Oliva.
