Here is where the Federal Council is hitting to save 3 billion
The government has in its sights with the withdrawals of capital from the 2nd and the 3rd pillar, civil servants, asylum and many other sectors. Parliament will have the last word.
The Federal Council wants to save 3.1 billion francs by 2027. It is a little less than what it provided.

- The reduction program reduces federal expenses by 3.1 billion until 2027.
- The capital withdrawals from the second and third pillars will be more taxed.
- Federal administration decreases the benefits of its officials.
- Financial support for the cantons for asylum goes from seven to five years.
After consultation with the main “victims”, the Federal Council is slightly stronger than expected to its reduction program. It will save 3.1 billion, not 3.6 billion, by 2027. He estimates that the milestone of rigor is inevitable if we do not want to end up with a budgetary deficit of more than 4 billion in 2029.
Where will the Federal Council save? Almost everywhere, but mainly on asylum, climate policy, federal officials, transport and international cooperation. And then he plans to garner new revenues by further taxing capital withdrawals in the 2e and the 3e pillar. Let’s quickly see a few points.
190 million more taxes on the 2e and the 3e pillar
The Federal Council did not decide concerning a stronger taxation of capital withdrawals of 2e a you 3e pillar. The only concession: it does not increase taxation for the withdrawals of capital less than 100,000 francs in the 3e pillar. And since capital withdrawals in the 2e Pillar increase, the government is delighted to take more. It is no longer 160, but an additional 190 million that he intended to garner.
300 million on civil servants
The Federal Council will save money in the commitment and the benefits of federal officials. Two examples: currently, the right to vacation for civil servants aged 60 and over is seven weeks. It will decrease by one day in 2027 and 2028, and three days from 2029. The amount of loyalty bonuses will be reduced by half, going from a month’s salary to half a half of salary from the 20the year of service.
436 million on asylum
The Confederation will not subsidize the cantons as long for the management of asylum applicants. We go from seven years to five years. The Federal Council originally wanted to decrease aid to four years.
400 million on ecological buildings
The fund to clean up the buildings in an ecological way will lose 400 million. The Federal Council estimates, like the experts, that there was a great windfall effect. Namely, the owners are happy to receive state subsidies for sanitation work that they would have undertaken anyway.
