Forecast for public finances: surpluses for cantons, uncertainty for Confederation and social security funds
Berne, 24.9.2024 - The general government's financial development is likely to vary greatly depending on the level of government. This is the picture painted by the Federal Finance Administration's new forecast, which goes up to 2028. While the social security funds will probably generate surpluses over the entire forecast period and the cantons from 2025 onward, the Confederation and the municipalities are expected to run structural deficits over the entire period. There is some uncertainty surrounding this development. The federal relief measures have not yet been factored into the forecasts.
