THE LOOKOUT | Junta de Cartaxo and Vale da Pinta with highest execution rate ever

Cartaxo and Vale da Pinta parish assembly approved accounts with management balance of 25 thousand euros

Elected in the Union of Parishes of Cartaxo and Vale da Pinta approved accounts for the year 2023, which recorded an execution rate above 90% and a positive management balance of more than 25 thousand euros.

The Cartaxo and Vale da Pinta Parish Union approved on Monday, April 29, in a parish assembly, the 2023 accounts, which revealed an execution of 93.42% and a positive management balance of more than 25 thousand euros. The execution rate is the highest since the union of parishes was created, even surpassing 2014, the year in which the budget surplus of the former parish of Cartaxo made it possible to amortize a significant portion of the liabilities assumed by the former parish of Vale da Pinta, according to information from the Joins.
In gross values, in 2023, the expenditure paid reached 558 thousand euros, compared to a predicted value of around 597 thousand. The debt carried forward was around two thousand euros, with the medium and long-term debt remaining zero. The pending treasury operations with third-party entities were fully regularized in 2023, also reaching a zero value in the transition to 2024. The rendering of accounts for 2023 was approved with the favorable votes of those elected from PSD, Chega and CDU and abstention of the PS, and this year’s management balance will reinforce the initial 2024 budget amounting to more than 587 thousand euros.
The municipality’s executive, chaired by João Pedro Oliveira, highlights that this execution was achieved in a year in which the board assumed a significant increase in powers delegated by the municipality throughout the year. During 2023, the board also reinforced its operational staff. The current executive also states that the management exercise was only possible due to the result achieved in the 2022 financial year, which managed to stabilize the financial situation, canceling the debt, as well as significantly reducing treasury operations outstanding to third parties.
