This appears Thursday from a forecast of research Coelo.
Municipalities in the coming years will also have to cut their spending in order to close this gap, since they unlike the government should get their budgets.
The shortage equates to an average of 284 euros per inhabitant. Large municipalities with more than 150,000 inhabitants and municipalities with 50,000 to 100,000 residents are faced with the largest deficit. For large municipalities it averaged 396 euros per capita, for the smallest municipalities to 162 euros.
Also, there are regional differences. Municipalities in Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe and South Holland will have to make a relatively large adjustments. In Utrecht, Noord-Holland, Gelderland, Zeeland and Brabant are municipalities truly good.
Municipalities this year by decentralizations several major tasks given and do about 30 percent of all government spending. At the same time they collect only 3.5 percent of the load.
Municipalities can reduce their expenses by working more efficiently, or by doing less. According Coelo many municipalities have implemented in recent years forced a number of cuts. Examples are subsidies to associations and spending on green and culture.
According to the Association of Dutch Municipalities (VNG) figures show the importance of a new financing of municipalities. “Municipalities are now financially too dependent on the government,” said VNG chairman Annemarie Jorritsma
