Where the money goes
The €12.5M spent in 2025, by who receives it.
Source: the town’s 2025 accounts (DGFiP).
Contracts state a maximum amount for their whole term, often several years. That amount differs from what was paid. Purchases, services and works paid to companies by the town in 2025: €7.1M (its accounts).

Why this total differs from the €7.1M of purchases, services and works paid to companies
These are the amounts of the contracts signed in the year, over their whole length, not what was paid. The money paid in a year also goes to older contracts and to purchases too small to be published (under €40,000 excl. VAT). For a framework agreement, the amount is a ceiling.
Investment and works
€5M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €719 per resident. Towns of the same size: €372.

Who spends for the residents of Le Cateau-Cambrésis
Spending per resident in 2025 of each public body the town belongs to, and what each one pays for.

Understanding these figures
Running costs and works: what is the difference?
Running costs are each year’s spending: wages, energy, upkeep, grants. Works create or renovate something that lasts: a school, a road, a sports hall.
How is the comparison with towns of the same size made?
The towns of 5,000 to 10,000 inhabitants are ranked from lowest to highest value; the median is the value in the middle. A value above or below the median is not a judgement: it depends on the area, the population and the powers held by the intercommunality.
Where do these figures come from?
From the town’s accounts kept by the public accountant (DGFiP), the local finance observatory (OFGL) and public procurement data. Qipu changes no amount.
