The local government sector plays an important role in the Polish system of public finance. Local financial economy has certain specific features and is a tool for resource allocation in a market economy. The role of local government sector in the public finance system can be evaluated by analysing its share in the raising and spending of public resources. In 2010, there was a decrease in the share of local government revenue and expenditure in total government revenue and expenditure, as well as in relation to the GDP.

Expenditure autonomy of local government is a part of its financial autonomy. Contrary to revenue autonomy, it is more complicated and less transparent; separating from all expenditures those which fully depend on local decisions seems to be impossible. The presented analysis covered all gminas of Swietokrzyskie voivodeship, except of Kielce being an urban gmina and a poviat, i.e. 4 urban, 71 rural and 26 mixed. Selection of the analyzed cases as well as omitting the town of Kielce was imposed by data published in the Regional Data Bank of the Polish Central Statistical Office.

The organization of local government differs between the countries of the European Union, and may involve one, two or three levels of local authority. A characteristic feature is the process of merger of districts and the development of cooperation between districts. There is an increase in the competences and powers assigned to authorities at regional level. The economic position of the local government sector within the system of public finances in EU countries is growing in significance. More than 25% of public revenue in the whole of the EU is made up of local government revenue, and almost 25% of public expenditure is local government sector expenditure. These amounts are equivalent to around 12% of GDP.

Public finance theory constitutes a vast area of study of the fiscal environment in which local governments act. One of the key modern hazards afflicting the financial stability of those economic agents has been referred to as fiscal stress. Although the definition of this phenomenon presents one with no considerable cognitive difficulties, an optimal technique for measuring it remains a considerable issue for ongoing research. The aim of this paper is to discuss briefly the key features which descriptive formulae of fiscal stress should involve and to propose an aggregation method, based on the exponential weighted average, which facilitates an impromptu assessment of an agent’s fiscal conditions. Pivotal interpretations of some empirical results are outlined to elucidate the issues under consideration.
