The fiscal situation of São Gonçalo do Amarante was considered excellent in a study prepared by the Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN). The result left the municipality in second place in the national ranking published yesterday (10) by the agency.
The Firjan Index of Fiscal Management (IFGF) consists of five indicators: Own Revenue, Personnel Expenses, Investments, Liquidity and Debt Cost. According to Firjan, the figures are based on the official data of 2016 declared by the municipalities to the National Treasury Secretariat (STN).
The aim of the Federation study is to evaluate how the taxes paid by the community are administered, since municipal governments are responsible for managing a quarter of the Brazilian tax burden, that is, more than R $ 461 billion, an amount that exceeds the budget of the sector public of Argentina and Uruguay. The Index ranges from 0 to 1 point, and the closer to 1, the better the fiscal situation. Each of them is classified as A (Management of Excellence, with results higher than 0.8 points), B (Good Management, between 0.8 and 0.6 points), C (Difficult Management, between 0.6 and 0.4 point) or D (Management in Critical situation, less than 0.4 point). According to the survey, only São Gonçalo do Amarante has excellence management in Ceará. Nineteen municipalities (11.4%) had good management in the State, while 77 (46.4%) had a critical situation and 69 (41.6%) were difficult. The state average was below the national average in all indicators evaluated by the Index.
This edition of the IFGF analyzed the accounts of 166 of the 184 municipalities of Ceará, where 95.6% of the population live (8.6 million people). Until July 3, 2017, data from 18 cities were not available in the STN database or were inconsistent. The study reinforces that the Industrial and Port Complex of Pecém, located in São Gonçalo, helped in the classification.
