Every autumn, the Valais Grand Council examines the State budget for the following year. The 2027 budget is the first one fully prepared by the head of the Department of Finance and Energy, Franziska Biner. She describes a demanding financial context, with cuts announced at federal level and a cantonal savings programme.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday 10 November 2026<\/strong>, the Grand Council held the opening debate on the 2027 budget, without a vote. The budget is balanced, with a revenue surplus of CHF 0.7 million<\/strong> . Members of parliament broadly consider it fragile and regret the limited room for manoeuvre.<\/p>\n Several groups are concerned about the large drawdown planned from funds and reserves. According to Le Nouvelliste, the State Council prioritised staff increases, decided not to grant a cost-of-living adjustment to the civil service and drew on funds to balance the budget.<\/p>\nKey figures<\/h3>\n
