Tirajana squeezes the treasury surplus: 82 million euros of spending on real investment

YURENA VEGA - M24H Thursday, August 06, 2026

 

The San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council has given final approval to a budget modification file through supplementary credits for an amount of 1,37 million euros, after no objections were raised during the twenty-day public comment period. 

The agreement seals a financial injection earmarked entirely for bolstering the budget for current goods and services, providing it with the aforementioned multi-million euro allocation to meet the operational obligations of the tourist municipality in southern Gran Canaria. This budgetary operation is financed from the liquid treasury surplus for general expenses, strictly adhering to the mechanisms established in the legislation governing local finances.

The implementation of this procedure modifies the municipal accounts for the current fiscal year, balancing a consolidated budget totaling over €234 million in both expenditure and revenue. Within the final expenditure structure approved for the municipality, capital investments account for the largest share at over €82 million, closely followed by current goods and services expenditures at over €75 million, and personnel expenses exceeding €42 million. 

The remaining municipal financial obligations are divided between capital transfers of more than 24 million, current transfers of over 6 million, financial expenses of around 2 million, in addition to financial assets and a contingency fund for unforeseen events.

For its part, the income statement that balances the public accounts of San Bartolomé de Tirajana is based on very relevant items such as financial assets, which exceed 109 million euros, current transfers with more than 44 million euros and direct taxes that contribute more than 36 million euros. 

Municipal funding is supplemented by capital transfers exceeding €24 million, fees and other income of over €12 million, property income of nearly €5 million, and indirect taxes exceeding €2 million. Those affected may file an administrative appeal against this plenary agreement of final approval, published in the official provincial gazette, although the regulations stipulate that such an appeal will not, in itself, suspend the effectiveness of the economic actions agreed upon by the southern council.
