The components of ANACOM's financial plan for the 2017-2019 period are listed in Annex IV and are as follows:
- Investment plan (for projects);
- Income plan;
- Expenditure plan;
- Income statement by nature;
- Cash budgets;
- Balance statement;
- Cash flow statement.
The overall investment plan for 2018 and 2019 is reduced compared to 2017, with a decrease in investments associated with technical and IT equipment as a result of measures set out in the Strategic Plan for Information Systems (PESI). A slight reduction in investment is planned in spectrum monitoring equipment over the 2017-2019 horizon, maintaining the level of investment in laboratory equipment.
It is anticipated that the Income Plan will remain based on proceeds from the settlement and collection of all fees payable to ANACOM by providers of electronic communications networks and services, depending on the regulatory costs incurred by the respective regulatory activities, and fees charged for the use of frequencies and the use of numbering, which together represent about 97 percent of total income. It also comprises regulatory fees in respect of postal services and other revenues, which account for the remaining 3 percent.
In the period covered by the 2017-2019 Plan, overall income levels are expected to stabilise, with a tendency towards a slight reduction to the order of 0.3 percent in 2018 and 2019, due to an expected decrease in regulation fees applied to electronic communication operators given the estimated reduction in regulation costs.
Over the period of the Plan (between 2017 and 2019) a gradual reduction is expected in overall levels of expenditure in nominal terms. Implementation of internal efficiency measures will continue (review of internal processes, various renegotiations). In terms of personnel costs, ANACOM expects to maintain staff numbers over the period, maintaining personnel cost levels in 2019.
The remaining accounting and financial statements are also presented - these were prepared based on the income, expenditure and investments, as already explained, and were also prepared according to the accounting criteria of the SNC, as is ANACOM's practice and as is accepted by ANACOM's auditors.
