The Government has determined the text of the draft law on amendments to the Municipal Financing Act and is sending it to the National Assembly. The purpose of the draft law, which has been in coordination with municipalities and their representative associations since spring, is to provide a systemic solution for covering additional costs of municipalities, as currently specified in the draft Budget Execution Act for 2025 and 2026. The solutions contained in the amendment are the result of lengthy discussions with representative associations of municipalities. The purpose of the bill is also to ensure the targeted use of funds for co-financing municipalities with registered Roma settlements, and with new indicators of municipal development, a more objective assessment of the development of individual municipalities. The aim of the bill is also to provide additional funds to municipalities with the possibility of issuing municipal bonds and borrowing abroad.
