Question 16890 — departments

Summary

Mr. Bertrand Petit alerts the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories and the Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for local authorities and rurality, about the financial health of the departments. Indeed, weakened by a sharp drop in transfer taxes for valuable consideration and by social expenses linked to the payment of the RSA and social assistance for children become uncontrollable, the departments are expected to suffer once again this year, a reduction of 39% on average in their gross savings. The Government has also announced the abolition of the ASS and the switch of its beneficiaries to the RSA, adding further financial pressure if this transfer is not compensated to the nearest euro by the State. This scissor effect worries departmental executives who no longer benefit from the fiscal leverage since 2021 and are therefore entirely dependent on economic fluctuations and state allocations. Also, to maintain investment levels, the departments will therefore have to resort to borrowing while the interest rates charged by banking establishments are still around 4%. It is therefore in view of these multiple indicators plunged into the red and which lead the departments to go into debt on the long time he asks her what measures she intends to take to stabilize their financial resources.
