description This article aims to analyze the financial capacity of the fluminense municipalities in the context of decentralization of public policies. Decentralization is seen as one of the strategies of the state reform, adjusting itself to the context of redemocratization of the structures of power, and also the globalization of markets and fiscal crisis of the 1980 decade. In Brazil, decentralization took impulse with the Constitution of 1988, when the municipality came to be considered as a “federal entity”. But one requirement, though insufficient, for the success of local governments strengthening, is a growing financial autonomy, allowing it to finance investments of local interest. The study concluded that there has been no increase in municipal investments, except in the case of those municipalities which receive oil revenues. It points out, moreover, to the growing commitment of the revenue with the municipal social policies, especially on health.
