Urban budget \u2013 sustainable and generational<\/h1>
<\/div>

Wiesbaden's financial situation is tense, as in many other municipalities. The federal and state governments have always assigned new tasks to the municipalities. Only with a sound fiscal policy can we secure the room for manoeuvre in order to continue to offer citizens a reliable infrastructure and good services in the future and to master the major challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

To this end, sustainable investments in key areas of responsibility are also essential: affordable housing, climate change mitigation and adaptation, mobility, education and health.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

What a sustainable and generational budget means for us<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

Considering global sustainability goals<\/h4>

Our fiscal policy is guided by the guiding principle of sustainable development. We systematically consider the global sustainability goals (SDGs) in financial planning: In addition to monetary aspects, environmental and social objectives and costs for future generations are thus included in decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Solid budget<\/h4>

We maintain the municipal capacity to act by establishing budgets that can be approved and balanced in the medium term, thus avoiding \u2018remote control\u2019 by the Ministry of the Interior. For us, sustainability means: sound finances, preservation of urban assets and targeted investments in future tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sustainable fiscal policy<\/h4>

Smart and timely investments avoid higher costs in the future. We only support loan financing for sustainable investments (infrastructure, climate protection, education, housing construction). We receive the city\u2019s wealth \u2013 we reject the sale of silver for consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Gender-responsive budget<\/h4>

We are considering the introduction of gender budgeting : All budgets should be systematically reviewed for their impact on women, men and various genders. In the coming budgets, first pilot areas will be analysed, results will be regularly published and included in the budget debates.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
