Federal Council anticipates surplus in 2026 – initially budgeted for a loss
The Federal Council revises its budget forecast and expects a financial surplus for 2026.
According to the Tages-Anzeiger, the federal budget for 2026 is now projected to show a surplus of around 800 million francs instead of the previously anticipated loss of 700 million francs. This indicates that the earlier assessment was deemed too pessimistic.
According to SRF, this means that the federal government can expect a windfall in 2026, positively influencing the financial framework for future planning. The Federal Council has adjusted the forecast accordingly.
