The L'Espluga de Francolí Town Council concluded the 2025 fiscal year with a favorable economic balance, recording a treasury surplus of over 693,000 euros and a substantial reduction in outstanding invoices.

This financial improvement marks a turning point for the council, moving past a period of economic difficulties. The treasury surplus for general expenses reached 693,217.67 euros, while the volume of outstanding invoices has been reduced to 615,233.48 euros, nearly half compared to previous years.
Economic indicators reflect a widespread recovery. The adjusted surplus stands at 77,984.19 euros, financing capacity has reached 802,306.19 euros, and the live debt ratio has decreased to 25.55%. The only indicator still below the established limit is the average payment period, which, despite being 82.81 days at the end of 2025, has already seen a significant drop to 43.84 days during the first quarter of 2026.
In accordance with current regulations, the adjusted surplus cannot be used freely but will be allocated to reducing municipal debt, thus complying with fiscal rules. This new phase will allow the Town Council to regain room for investment in infrastructure maintenance such as streets, facilities, and gardening, with the possibility of incorporating an additional 100,000 euros from the Diputació for urgent actions.
