Financial equalization (France)
The financial equalization in France is an equalization between the different local authorities . Since 2003, financial equalization has been set out in Article 72-2 of the Constitution of the Fifth French Republic .
There are basically two variants of financial equalization in France:
- The between regional authorities at the same level (horizontal financial equalization)
- The between superordinate and subordinate regional authorities state / regions , regions / département , département / municipalities and municipal associations (vertical financial equalization)
In 2011, the financial equalization represented 28% (€ 52.5 billion) of the local authorities' resources, while 60% of their income came from their own resources (local taxes and other charges).
