Shklou-Style Parasitism

The budget of the ShklouZz district is becoming more and more subsidized, and its expenditure causes more and more questions.

Kastsiukovichski district has been recognized as one of the best areas for doing business with the number of residents less than 50 thousand in Mahiliou region. The development of the business is a significant bonus to the local budget. Shklou district does not need this - the money will be given anyway, the website 6tv.by writes.

The vertical constantly says that we have a socially-oriented budget. However, what else should it be in the peacetime? At the expense of the local budget, the non-production sphere of the district is functioning and, even, there is real financial assistance to business entities. However, al this happens for the benefit of people and the budget. Unfortunately, recently it is somehow forgotten that the services of education, health care, state bodies should in principle be free of charge - for this purpose, payments to the budget are withdrawn. With a shortage of funds, the subjects of the non-productive spheres are recommended to provide paid services to the population. It would seem that with this approach, Shklou district should thrive economically, and the local government should manage the territory and the budget for the people’s joy and happiness. Alas, every year the situation, to put it mildly, does not improve. Disregard for people (even in the sacred place - the district executive committee), rudeness in institutions, problems with incomes. At the same time, even paid services do not guarantee high quality of service to the population - incoming money to the cashier of the organization only reimburses the estimated budget expenditures and does not bring any special dividends to the performers. So do not be surprised with the paid rudeness at the local level.

The budget of Shklou district remains predictable to a certain extent in terms of expenses - in previous years, almost any enterprise was washed with the golden rain of investments, which made it possible not to worry about their fate at all. Including the non-production spheres. The apotheosis of the "public concern" was the erection of an ice hockey palace in Shklou.

Those times have passed away, some district bosses have to worry about this issue. It doesn’t always work though. In a certain way, the low efficiency of district management also affects the local budget.

The dynamics of the social orientation of the expenditure part of the budget also attracts attention. Even 20 years ago, social expenditures in the regional budget ranged from 69-72%, now the limits were steeped to 58-62%. Finished and planned.

The effectiveness of the work of the district administration can be assessed by the degree of subsidy in the local budget. Indirectly, the dynamics of gratuitous receipts to the budget of Shklou district from other budgets of the budget system of the Republic of Belarus indicates a decline in the efficiency of the local economy. Some 3-7 years ago, the level of subsidy was 46-48%, and by the end of 2016 this indicator "reached" 50,7%.
