  It’s a huge challenge to qualify the operation of an organised society’s needs especially because of the limited resources. The task above has put pressure on the states since the middle of the XXth century. To solve the pervious problem the states started to find new, non-traditional, alternative tools, legal institutions which are able to include other sectors resource (e. g. private sector’s) into the provision of the public duties. One of these alternative legal institutions is the Public-Private Partnership (PPP). The study tries to answer the question: what results has adapted this legal tool by the Hungarian local governments.

  The present study is an analysis of the budgetary expenditures of the Hungarian local governments between 1993 and 2010. One of its main objectives is the presentation of the most significant local public functions. The problem of borrowing and debt management of local governments cannot be ignored in this study. Based on the results of the study it is clear that the operational expenditures were pre-dominant meanwhile the local governments could not dedicate more money to the investment in different domains. The most important failures of the previous system were the unfavourable allocation of duties and the decreasing central support. After the adoption of the new Municipal Law, important financial changes put in place. As a tendency of the past few years it can be stated that the scope of local public tasks is narrowing (e.g. the primary education and the social security system were centralized) whilst the budgetary expenditures of local governments are decreasing. As a main conclusion the author states that the local financial autonomy was reduced during the last years.
