Approval in Council of Ministers
The Council of Ministers approved this week a Royal Decree-Law to update the deliveries on behalf of the Autonomous Communities and also of the Local Entities of the year 2025, which shows the commitment of the Government to provide the territorial entities with sufficient resources to provide quality public services.
In particular, the communities will receive the largest installments on account of history with 147,412 million euros, which is an increase of 9.5% compared to those received last year. To this amount must be added the settlement of 2023, which is the difference between the estimate of income (on account deliveries) and the real income when the accounting year ends, and which reaches 11,692 million euros. Therefore, the Autonomous Communities will receive this year a total funding of 158,167 million, the highest in history, with an increase of 2.5% compared to last year.
For its part, Extremadura will receive the largest deliveries on account of its history with 4,187 million euros, 8% more than last year. To this amount must be added the settlement of 2023, which amounts to 261 million. Therefore, the total financing of Extremadura in 2025 will reach 4,408 million.
The updating of the deliveries on account takes place in a scenario of budgetary extension. In this way, the Government has once again detached the approval of the Budgets from the updating of resources for the Autonomous Communities, something that the PP government always rejected that could be done. However, the facts have once again denied the position of the Executive of Rajoy and the deliveries on account, as happened last year also, have been updated despite the existence of a situation of budgetary extension.
Therefore, the progressive government takes another step in its defense of the financial autonomy of the Autonomous Communities as it also did during the worst pandemic in a century by maintaining unchanged the deliveries on account in that year despite the fall in GDP, also assuming the negative liquidations that were generated as a result of the fall in revenue, among other measures.
In fact, in the seven years of Pedro Sánchez’s government, Extremadura has received 7.361 million more resources than in the seven years of Mariano Rajoy, which is 39% more.
Record funding for Local Entities
The Royal Decree-Law approved today also includes the updating of the deliveries on account of the municipalities. In this way, Local Entities will receive 28,734 million euros in 2025, which is a record figure. In fact, in the seven years of progressive government the municipalities have received 32% more funding than in the seven years of government of Mariano Rajoy. That is, almost 40 billion more.
