Investeringsbudget
The investment budget (investeringsbudget) is the part of the municipality's budget that goes to buildings and facilities, and it is decided by the municipal council (kommunfullmäktige). It differs from ongoing operating costs by being about things that are used over many years, for example schools, roads, or sports facilities. Because the council is elected, it is ultimately the residents who, through the election, influence how this money is prioritised.
