The 2019 budget of Călărași town plans revenues of MDL 36.4 million, more than half of them transfers from the state budget. An analysis by Expert-Grup, carried out under a project supported by the Dutch Embassy in Bucharest, examines revenues, spending priorities and two large investment projects.

Transfers from the state budget account for MDL 19.5 million, or 53.5%, of planned revenues, equal to MDL 2,510 per resident. Own revenues of MDL 16.8 million are up 49.8% on 2018, owing to a European Union grant of MDL 5.9 million. Education (32.4%), housing and communal services (29.6%) and culture, sport, youth, religion and recreation (17.8%) are the largest spending items. Early education costs MDL 12.3 million for 570 children, about MDL 86 per child per day.

Housing and communal services spending rises 112.9%, from MDL 5.3 million to MDL 11.3 million, because of two EU-funded projects: water supply and sewerage (MDL 48.8 million) and LED street lighting (MDL 13.9 million). Together they total MDL 62.7 million, almost 90% from external funds. The town hall contributes MDL 6.6 million, or MDL 468 per resident, while external support amounts to MDL 3,978 per resident.
