Economic activity of municipal local government in Germany

Summary/Abstract: The lack of financial resources for the fulfillment of public tasks laid down in legal acts, high loan payments, falling investment profits, increasing administrative expenses, the lack of policy aimed at generating revenue, tax decisions taken by federal and regional bodies, and the reduction of public debt have all led to local governments seeking new sources of financing. One such source could be the economic activity undertaken by local governments in Germany. In this paper the following issues are presented: the legal basis of economic activity, the definition of legal activity, the scope of economic activity and legal and organizational forms of economic activity of local governments.
