Calvia town hall deficit of nine million euros in 2020

Mayor Alfonso Rodríguez has thanked the "great political and social consensus" that there has been in alleviating the "enormous difficulties" faced by families and businesses. But he and his administration now need to look at containing some costs because of an ongoing drop in revenue. It isn't clear as yet what the balance for 2021 will be, but a further deficit looks inevitable.

However, although cost containment will be required, the town hall is able to draw on reserves. As with most town halls, it has a budget surplus that has accumulated over the years because of spending constraints applied by the Spanish government. Spokesperson Nati Francés says that the debt has been reduced and that the surplus will allow the deficit to be addressed without taking measures in coming years.
