The Federal Assembly adjusted and approved the 2025 budget on 19 December 2024. Overall, there is a financing deficit of CHF 800 million. Nevertheless, the debt brake requirements will be met.
Budgeted expenditure amounts to CHF 86.5 billion and receipts to CHF 85.7 billion, resulting in a financing deficit of CHF 0.8 billion. Extraordinary payments are still required to cover some of the expenditure for people from Ukraine seeking protection (700 million). The financing deficit in the ordinary budget is around CHF 480 million. The debt brake requirements will thus be met.
Parliament made various adjustments to the 2025 budget during the winter session. In comparison with the Federal Council's proposal, Parliament primarily increased the funds for the Armed Forces considerably (+530 million) and made cuts in the areas of development assistance and asylum, as well as at Confederation level.
