First extrapolation for 2024: financing deficit of CHF 1.6 billion
Bern, 14.8.2024 - The Federal Council was informed about the current extrapolation on August 14, 2024. According to the first extrapolation, the Confederation is anticipating a financing deficit of CHF 1.6 billion for this year. A deficit of CHF 2.6 billion had been budgeted. The improved figures are mainly due to the fact that the one-time extraordinary capital contribution to SBB, amounting to CHF 1.15 billion, has been deferred until 2025. In the ordinary budget, deviations from the budget remain minor.
