Financial crisis in the district: District levy sinks, debts continue to rise!
in Pasewalk, in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald, the district council decided to make a supplementary budget for the current year at its most recent meeting. This decision was necessary because the expenditure exceeds the income significantly, as [https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/mecklenburgvorpommern/vorpommern-greifswald-kreif-s-skt-s-skt-s-skt-s-skt-s-skt-s-schenzt-mreifswald-278.html). A central element of this supplementary budget is the reduction in the circular levy from 48.5 to 42 percent, but this must first be subjected to a legal examination by the Ministry of the Interior in Schwerin.
But what is behind this decision? The discussion in the district council was characterized by a certain skepticism. Before the session it was found that a rate of 42 percent would probably not withstand legal reviews. This raises the question of how sustainable such a reduction really is and what further steps have to follow to ensure the financial stability of the district.
financial challenges in the district
The Vice-Landrat Dietger Wille (CDU) expresses great concern about the financial future of the district. According to the current cash fall, there is a deficit of 27 million euros in the approved double budget 2024/2025. This development is very much due to increasing expenses in the areas of youth and social affairs due to the increased number of beneficiaries and increased costs. These factors alone have increased the deficit by 15.3 million euros, which further tightens the situation, since the tax growth, as [nordkurier.de] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/anklam/vorpommern-greifswald-millionloch-wie-wie-wie-Wieiter, 2910955) reports.
The financial situation of the district is not only burdened by internal factors, but also by the requirements that the country places to the municipalities. Prefinancies are required because the country often pays late. The district of Vorpommern-Greifswald currently has to provide a large number of tasks, including 6 million euros for asylum issues and 7.9 million euros in social welfare.
