Journal Title: Central European Review of Economics and Finance - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 4
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to evaluate the financial condition of selected territorial governments in the Malopolska Voivodship within the new EU financial framework for the 2014- 2020 period. The global economic crisis has affected not only financial markets but also the policy and development strategies of local and territorial authorities. Changes have occurred in the approach to strategic objectives, which are now focused on regions and aim to stimulate endogenous growth potentials. New plans and strategies have already been drafted on the national and regional level, but their implementation, as well as the achievement of goals laid down in the Europe 2020 strategy, will crucially depend on the absorption capabilities of territorial governments. The research hypothesis of the article concerns the need to restructure the revenue system of territorial governments and further decentralize public finances in order to stimulate regional endogenous growth potentials. In order to verify it, financial indicators for selected territorial governments in the 2010-2014 period are analyzed. The findings show that there are positive trends underway in the budget policies of analyzed governments, but their revenues are still inadequate and their total growth potential remains low.(original abstract)
