Keywords Financial statements Budget Revenue Expenditure Surplus Reserves Audit opinion Liquidity Balance sheet Assets Liabilities Solvency Cash flow Depreciation Operating costs Personnel costs

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.
