Lower Saxony releases 19.58 million euros for financially weak municipalities!
in Lower Saxony is again strongly reached into the coffers of the financially weak municipalities. A total of 70.1 million euros flow from the municipal financial equalization into the clammy health insurers of 32 municipalities, which suffer particularly from financial bottlenecks. This reports regionalheute.de . This allocation is an important measure that is intended to secure the financial ability of these municipalities.
On average, the allocations cover only around 10 % of the accrued deficiency. However, the support is not as lavish as in previous years, since the funding rates were reduced. Another drop of bitterness: The funds provided may only be used to cover past deficits, direct investments or visible measures are not permitted.

These needs assignments are specially intended for highly indebted municipalities that are in a difficult financial situation and are dependent on budget consolidation. Due to increased costs and increasing dependence on liquidity loans, this procedure has become more than necessary. As Desiedersachsen.de , the grants were even more extremely caught in 2024, since 82 municipalities had applied for needs. The following applies that only municipalities with demonstrable willingness to consolidation receive funds.
The municipal financial equalization (KFA) should therefore not be underestimated. Calculated annually by the State Office for Statistics Lower Saxony, it is one of the most important sources of income for Lower Saxony cities and municipalities. According to Statistics.niedersachsen.de , the system is based on a variety of factors such as residents and tax power. For the financially weak municipalities, these allocations are of enormous importance in order to maintain the financial scope and to pay long overdue expenses.
