Budget and Financial Documents
Four-year budget outlining priorities in governance, social services, and infrastructure, with a forecast 2026 surplus of USD 647K and cash-flow projections.
This document is the official annual financial report (jaarrekening) for the year 2024 of the Statia Government (Openbaar Lichaam Sint Eustatius). It provides a detailed account of the government’s financial position, income and expenditures, budget performance, and policy execution. The report follows legal requirements under the FinBES (Wet Financiën BES) and includes a favorable audit opinion, confirming the financial information is reliable and legally compliant.
The financial statements show that Statia ended the year with a positive result of USD 4.1 million, which is significantly better than the originally forecasted surplus of USD 2 million. This improved outcome was mainly due to lower operational costs and a higher-than-expected income from free allocations and interest revenue. The positive result was added to the government’s reserves.
