The Confederation expects a significantly lower deficit than expected for this year. The loss should be 200 million francs, while the 2025 budget provided 800 million. This improvement is mainly explained by a clear increase in tax revenue.
The ordinary budget should present a surplus of funding of 700 million, instead of the deficit of 500 million registered in the budget, indicates the Federal Council on Wednesday. The revenues were revised upwards of 1.4 billion francs, while ordinary expenses should increase by 200 million compared to the budget.
The extraordinary budget has deteriorated. This is due to a single payment of 850 million francs intended to stabilize the finances of the SBB. The extraordinary revenues expected are also greater than the budget (+ 200 million) thanks to the additional amount distributed for the benefit of the SNB.
