Every autumn, the Federal Parliament examines the Confederation\u2019s budget prepared by the Federal Council. For 2027, it amounts to around 94 billion francs. The finance committees prepare the debates and make recommendations to both chambers. A committee had not rejected a budget for 25 years, according to its chairman.<\/p>\n
On Thursday 12 November 2026, the National Council\u2019s finance committee recommended rejecting the Confederation\u2019s 2027 budget by 15 votes to 9<\/strong>. The SVP and the left both reject the draft, for opposite reasons, according to RTS.<\/p>\n The committee\u2019s version provides for 241.5 million francs of additional spending and 291.8 million of additional revenue compared with the Federal Council\u2019s draft. It complies with the debt brake. More than 100 minority proposals have been tabled.<\/p>\n If both chambers reject the budget, or if one rejects it twice, it will be sent back to the Federal Council. The latter will then present a temporary draft to ensure the Confederation\u2019s ability to pay, the Federal Finance Administration (FFA) said.<\/p>\nKey figures<\/h3>\n
