Effective immediately, the 2026 budget is available in electronic format on the website of the Federal Finance Administration (FFA). The hard copy will be released in mid-September.
Following the Federal Council’s announcement of the figures for the 2026 budget on June 25, 2025, the detailed budget is now available. During its meeting on August 20, 2025, the Federal Council adopted the dispatch on the 2026 budget with the integrated task and financial plan (ITFP) for 2027 to 2029. It contains all of the federal receipts and expenditure envisaged for 2026, as well as the outlook for the three subsequent years of the plan.
A financing deficit of CHF 845 million is budgeted for 2026. The Confederation will have to take on new debt in this amount. The financing deficit in the ordinary budget is CHF 609 million, which means that the cyclical deficit permitted by the debt brake (-717 mn) is not fully utilized.
