The Intermunicipal Community (CIM) of Alto Minho unanimously approved the 2023 financial statement, which revealed a positive net result of around 302 thousand euros.
In a statement, the CIM of Alto Minho, headquartered in Ponte de Lima and comprising the 10 municipalities of the Viana do Castelo district, explained that the positive result presented resulted from “a total of income in the order of 3.4 million euros and a global amount of expenses of 3.1 million euros”.
In 2023, the year to which the accounts approved by the Intermunicipal Assembly relate, on Monday, in Paredes de Coura, the budget of the CIM of Alto Minho presented a value of 7,079,647.83 euros, a “decrease of 16%” in relation to 2022.
The reduction was justified “by the closure, in 2022, of projects with community co-financing approved within the scope of Portugal 2020 and territorial cooperation programs, with those carried over to 2023 with reprogramming approved or being formulated having a less significant financial allocation”.
Another of the reasons cited by the CIM of Alto Minho is related to “the final negotiation period of the operational and thematic programs of the new European programming cycle Portugal 2030”.
The 2023 report and accounts highlights, among “the most notable achievements in 2023, the closure of the “Pact for Development and Territorial Cohesion (PDCT) “Alto Minho 2020”, placing CIM Alto Minho as an intermediate management body of the PDCT, with the best execution rate in the North region, 99.9%, with the North average being 92.1%”.
