The budget for 2025 and 2026 was submitted on 11 December 2024. This was the first time that a double budget was presented to the Bocholt City Council. The budget was adopted on 19 February 2025.

Germany and the city of Bocholt are currently in a tense financial situation, characterised by a subdued overall economy, an increased savings rate among private households and structural challenges.
Like many other municipal budgets, the city of Bocholt's budget is under pressure as growing social expenditure and energy costs meet stagnating or declining income. At the same time, there is the challenge of investing in future areas such as digitalisation, climate protection, education and infrastructure in order to ensure long-term attractiveness, competitiveness and social stability, despite tight budgets.

The parliamentary groups' budget speeches will be submitted as soon as they are all available in written form.

The planned annual results amount to -33,671,500 euros for 2025 and -35,155,300 euros for 2026. The largest deviation from the planning for 2024 (-17,511,751 euros incl. addendum) is mainly due to

Clicking on a graphic opens the selected budget section with information on the overall budget. In the overall plans, you can display further information on the income and expense types by clicking on the desired graphic section. In the sub-plans, select the department in the first overview and then the pie chart with the corresponding data will open.
