The settlement of the municipal budget for Puerto del Rosario for the year 2025 has revealed an overall execution of 74.86%. This result includes an adjusted treasury surplus for general expenses of 26,875,644 euros and a positive adjusted budgetary outcome of 17,463,576 euros.
“"These figures demonstrate the entity's solid liquidity position and its capacity to generate savings. Furthermore, they reflect remarkable financial strength and the commitment of the governing group to effective, responsible, and results-oriented management."
Although technical reports indicate a formal non-compliance with budgetary stability objectives and the spending rule, the CC-PSOE governing group clarifies that this situation is due to an extraordinary expenditure of seven million euros. This disbursement corresponds to the payment of a judicial sentence for events that occurred in previous fiscal years, specifically the expropriation of El Matorral.
The municipal team highlighted that this non-recurring and unpredictable payment distorted the final calculation. However, the City Council's financial robustness allowed it to meet this obligation without resorting to debt mechanisms. Excluding this external factor, ordinary management would have aligned with stability objectives, demonstrating that the imbalance was an unavoidable legal obligation.
“"Having a surplus of almost 27 million euros and a positive result of over 17 million, while maintaining zero debt, allows us not only to be solvent but also to plan the future with ambition, optimizing public resources and prioritizing actions that directly benefit citizens."
The Councillor for Economy and Finance, Juan Manuel Verdugo, added that the 2025 settlement is proof of rigorous planning and continuous expenditure monitoring. A positive net saving of 4,057,721 euros has been achieved, ensuring that current revenues are sufficient to cover operating expenses. This fact, combined with a 0% debt level, positions the City Council as an efficient and transparent administration.
