According to the survey, only 30% of the state’s revenue is its own, while 70% comes from federal transfers. Acre is second only to Amapá, where dependence on these resources reaches 77%. The study takes into account current income and expenses incurred between September and October.
In analyzing the budget structure, the document points out that Acre maintains the same pattern observed in a large part of the country: the majority of expenses are concentrated in personnel expenses. Of the total revenue, 50% was allocated to payroll, 29% to public finance, 4% to investments and another 4% to paying debts.
Education and health are also among the areas that received the most resources. The survey indicates that education accounted for 25% of expenses, equivalent to R$1.78 billion, while health absorbed 19%, around R$1.41 billion. Another 28% (R$2.07 billion) was invested in different sectors of public administration, and 10% (R$740 million) was allocated to social security.
