Annual Reports
The annual report (part of the financial statements) indicates, among other things, whether the policies in the budget for the past year were actually implemented.
2024: Doing together what is needed
On the eve of already the last full year of the 2022-2026 governance period, the 2024 Annual Report shows what the municipality achieved in 2024.
We worked on the Strategic Vision Zoetermeer 2040 in 2024. An elaboration of our vision of the future, which we will discuss further with society in 2025. It is balancing between discussions about heights of government funds to a world order that no longer seems self-evident. For 2024, the account result was approximately € 6.9 million positive; incidentally, with the use of reserves otherwise the result would have been € 13.8 million negative. So we are tapping into our savings. This prevented the municipality from coming under preventive supervision. Thanks to a healthy financial position, we are fortunately able to absorb setbacks while continuing to invest in the city.
The 2024 Annual Report is available through a digital portal:
