The Financial Statistics Section of the Federal Finance Administration (FFA) publishes the financial statistics with figures from 2024 and publishes a provisional estimate for 2025. The data can be accessed on the data portal.

The Confederation ended 2025 with a financing surplus of CHF 0.3 billion. The improvement relative to the budget is primarily attributable to a temporary increase in receipts from the canton of Geneva. The Federal Council was informed of this provisional result during its meeting on 18 February 2026. At the same time, it launched work on the next budget. Despite the balanced financial result, the federal finances remain tight: structural deficits can still be expected for 2027 to 2029, even with relief package 27 and the planned VAT increase for the Armed Forces and security. Without these measures, the deficits from 2027 onwards would amount to between CHF 2 and 4 billion.
