816 contracts signed in 2025 · €1.25B before tax

Why this total differs from the €1.46B 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

€245.4M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €43 per resident. Mainland regions: €47.

On top of that, €978.6M paid to other bodies for their own equipment (towns, intercommunalities, associations…).

Who is part of Grand Est

Understanding these figures

Who does what

The region pays for high schools, regional trains (TER) and intercity coaches, school transport outside towns, aid to businesses, vocational training and apprenticeships.

Official table of responsibilities (July 2025)

Why the levels are not added up

The same euro can appear twice: once when a region or a département pays a grant, again when the town spends it. Each page shows its own body’s spending.

Where these figures come from

Spending: the accounts of the main budget published by the DGFiP, by public policy. Revenue, debt and taxes: OFGL. Contracts: published contract data (DECP), amounts planned at signing.
