In September 2026, the City of Geneva's Administrative Council presented a 2027 draft budget with a deficit of 69.2 million francs. It then took into account the reassessment of cantonal tax revenue. This revision enabled it to reduce the excess of expenditure to 32 million francs. It also earmarked an additional one million francs for social assistance.<\/p>\n
The finance committee of the City of Geneva's Municipal Council approved the amended 2027 draft budget on Tuesday 10 November 2026, according to the Keystone-ATS news agency. It forecasts a deficit of 32 million francs<\/strong>, the same amount as the Administrative Council's revised version.<\/p>\n In total, 59 amendments had been tabled. The eight committee members from the Centre, the Green Liberals, the MCG, the PLR and the UDC approved the operating budget. The seven left-wing members (PS, Greens and Ensemble \u00e0 Gauche) rejected it.<\/p>\n A PLR amendment was adopted: all new nursery places will be funded through subsidies<\/strong> rather than by bringing them under municipal management. The Administrative Council has made early childhood and the transformation of the city its priorities. Unlike the 2026 budget, it maintains the salary mechanisms set out in the staff regulations.<\/p>\nKey figures<\/h3>\n
