Here is the Budget Council's ruling on the 2027 budget
The Budget Council unanimously raised no fundamental objections to the draft of the 2027 central budget, projecting GDP growth of 1.7% this year and 2.4% next year. The council noted that these figures are slightly below market expectations, supported by stable domestic consumption and rising real wages, although global economic conditions pose risks. The 4.9% deficit target aligns with EU legal requirements, contingent on approval from the EU Council. The government aims to reduce the deficit from 7.5% to 4.9% of GDP next year, with significant improvements attributed to one-off effects. The council previously criticized budget plans, highlighting risks related to growth expectations and EU funding uncertainties.
