The Federal Finance Administration has determined the cantons' equalization payments for 2026. Overall, the payments are up by CHF 227 million year on year to CHF 6.4 billion. The sharp rise in equalization payments is due to the strong growth in resource equalization. The cantons of Geneva, Zug and Schaffhausen have the biggest increase in the resource index. The indices of the cantons of Basel Stadt, Obwalden, Thurgau and Zurich are down the most. The calculations will be submitted to the cantons for their comments.
