Jaarverslag en slotwet Provinciefonds 2008

This procedure concerns the annual report and closing budget act (slotwet) for the Provinciefonds, the Dutch fund through which the central government provides general financing to the country's provinces, for the 2008 financial year. The closing act formally establishes the final amounts paid out compared with what was originally budgeted, and the parliament reviews whether the spending was carried out as approved. The provinces are the main recipients of the fund, which helps them finance their own public tasks. Because the fund is a central source of provincial income, the outcome affects provincial budgets and the wider public finances of the Netherlands.
