Abstract:

The effects of allocating revenues from oil production to socioeconomic development and funding public policies have been questioned in literature. The main objective of this study was to analyse the importance of financial compensation – in the form of royalties and special participation – for public financing of local health services in the Norte Fluminense region of Rio de Janeiro State, which accounts for more than 70% of the oil produced in Brazil. The methodology involved secondary data analysis of municipal health revenues and expenditures in the 2000s. The results suggest that the variation in oil-derived budget funds were correlated to the significant difference in total health spending in the region‘s municipalities. However, the execution and distribution of health spending by type did not occur proportionally to the variation in availability of revenue. Heavy dependence on oil revenue indicates greater municipal autonomy in health spending when compared to other municipalities in Brazil. In conclusion, other criteria for the distribution and use of funds are needed in order to equalise spending and streamline governmental actions in the regional sphere.
