Mühldorf in financial plus: Kämmerer presents track record for 2024
An interesting assessment was made today in the Mühldorf city council. Treasurer Fabian Zierhofer presented the 2024 annual financial statements, although their publication was delayed. Originally it was supposed to be ready by the end of June. Despite this delay, the overview of the city's financial situation was quite positive. Loud Innsalzach24 It is pleasing to report that the budget has a volume of 83.7 million euros, divided into 71.3 million euros for the administrative budget and 12.4 million euros for the asset budget.
The reserves have increased to a total of 16.3 million euros, which means an increase of around 2 million euros. This is primarily due to the fact that income from taxes, subsidies and operating income in the administrative budget increased by almost 1.5 million euros. The treasurer announced that the city would not have taken out any new loans in 2024, which is anything but a given these days.
Challenges and outlook
Despite these positive developments, there are also challenges to overcome.

Despite the many challenges, the city is well advised to focus on economic stability and continue to build on the positive developments of recent years.
The conclusion from Zierhofer and the city councilors is optimistic: they hope that the current trend will continue. The delay in the annual financial statements was attributed to staff shortages and audits by the municipal auditing association. With the complete accounting results, the audit committee is now instructed to take the next steps.
