The lion’s share of the allocated sum – 425.98 million lei – will be distributed amongst primary schools, gymnasiums and lyceums, which are funded on the basis of standard per-pupil expenditure rates. A further 7.18 million lei will be channelled to sports schools, whilst 23,500 lei will go towards supporting social welfare services.
As explained by the Ministry of Finance, the targeted allocation of funds was carried out on the basis of a detailed analysis of local staffing costs and official requests from local authorities. The application of standard funding formulas in this case could have led to funds being channelled to institutions with surpluses, whilst a number of districts were in urgent need of subsidies.
The Ministry emphasised that, without this intervention, the administrations of some localities would have been unable to pay the salaries of staff in the education and social sectors.
According to the annex to the adopted document, the following regions will receive the main transfers:
- Hîncești District – approximately 22 million lei;
- Orhei District – 21.6 million lei;
- Gagauzia Autonomous Region — 21.3 million lei;
- Glodeni District – 19.6 million lei;
- Ungheni District and the municipality of Chișinău — approximately 19.3 million lei each.
Around 378 million lei will be allocated to district and municipal councils (second tier), whilst over 54 million lei will be distributed amongst the budgets of towns, communes and villages (first tier).
