The 2023 budget

The budget for 2023 was introduced to the City Council on 25 October 2022.
After the deliberations in the political arena and the resulting motions, the budget was adopted in the council meeting on 14 December 2022. This procedure provides planning certainty at the beginning of the year and, especially for the planned investment measures, results in a considerable time advantage compared to a later introduction.

What about the budget for 2023?
The planned result for 2023 is € -12.5 million, which is € 0.4 million worse than the planned draft resolution on the annual result for 2022. The draft budget for 2023 is essentially characterised by the following points:
- Transfer expenses increase by approx. € 10.8 million compared to the previous year.
- Expenses for rent and management costs to GWB increase by € 4.6 million compared to the 2022 budget.
- Expenditure on personnel will increase by around € 1.9 million due to pay rises and job increases.
- According to current tax estimates, tax revenues are expected to increase by € 17.8 million compared to the previous year. Of this, a change of € +13.0 million is forecast for trade tax alone.
- The budgeted amounts for grants and general allocations, which include key allocations, will increase by a total of about € 1.1 million.
- In order to isolate the corona-related budgetary burdens, an extraordinary income is also to be budgeted for the year 2023. The planned amount is € 9.8 million.
Even within the framework of medium-term financial planning, no original budget balance can be achieved. At present, a well-filled equalisation reserve can still be used to balance the budget deficit. However, this negative trend endangers the financial capacity to act in the long term, so that future developments must be monitored.
