La Junta de Gobierno ha aprobado hoy la liquidación definitiva del presupuesto del Ayuntamiento de Palma del año 2010
...
El año 2010 se cerró con un déficit negativo de -17,5 millones de euros, el mayor déficit que se ha registrado en la historia del Ayuntamiento.
...
La variación en 4 años es de más de 41 millones de euros, al pasar de una *** liquidación*** de 24 millones de euros en 2006 a un déficit negativo de 17,5 millones de euros en 2010.
This might sound like a stupid question, but economics isn't my strongest field and I wanted to check - is this a surplus in 2006 in comparison with the 17.5 m euro deficit of 2010?
I know there are loads of translations of this term out there, but I want to check for this context - would "surplus" be correct here?
UK Eng. Thanks in advance.

The 'liquidación' is neither a surplus nor a loss - it's just the result of a financial operation.
Junta de Gobierno ha aprobado hoy la liquidación definitiva
-->
the (whatever authority) approved the document setting out the final balance (regardless of whether that balance was printed in red or black).

Re Asker's note below: That makes no difference whatsoever. It's still a 'balance'. And a 'balance' can be black or red - the fact it happened to turn out 'black' (plus24 millones de euros en 2006) doesn't affect the translation of 'liquidación'.
The ST plays with 'liquidación' (in the sole - and incorrect - sense of 'profit') and 'deficit negativo' (hey! - what's a 'deficit' if it's not 'negativo'?) just for literary effect.

deficit payment
many variation...also suggest you look it up in the several sources available...it is more accounting than economics.

: "deficit payment" ??? That sounds like something I should try out on my IRS inspector! Thanks for the tip :)

Mediamatrix you are funny...do you do any paid translating? I do not know why you are always so insulting if someone answers not to your liking. I have already reported you. Please do not hide behind a computer to be so insulting. You are always here...I

I understand "liquidación" has been used here as mediamatrix has said, only that the second "liquidación" should be "con un excedente de", but I suppose that the writter has considered that including "con un excedente de" is so obvious that he has left it out.
