Nicosia: 2026 Budget Approved Unanimously – AKEL Calls for Government Support

The budget of the Municipality of Nicosia for 2026 was unanimously approved by the Municipal Council. However, AKEL points out that the state subsidy remains insufficient to cover the growing needs of the Municipality, especially regarding the reform of Local Government. Due to financial constraints, the Municipality is forced to limit spending on infrastructure and development projects. AKEL recognizes the efforts of the Mayor and the Council but calls on the government to financially strengthen the Municipality to implement important projects in various areas, as well as to support the “Pay As You Throw” program for waste management. AKEL is committed to continuing to support the Municipality's administration responsibly.
