The National Council Committee wants to spend more money on agriculture next year than the Federal Council has planned. (subject image)

Additional resources for agriculture, financed by cuts in the asylum system and regional policy: this is the result after several weeks of discussions in the Financial Commission of the National Council. There was talk back and forth about the debt brake.

Shortly before the end of the Finance Committee’s budget discussions, there was a structural deficit of 75.4 million francs, parliamentary services announced on Thursday. Since the debt repayment requirements would not have been met, the Commission decided to go back to some of the decisions it had already taken and save 85 million francs.

Slight structural surplus

The final result, according to the announcement, is now an estimate for 2024 that shows a slight structural surplus of 9.6 million francs. In the general vote, the Finance Committee approved this version of the estimates by 11 votes to 1 with 13 abstentions, which could point to an animated debate in December.

There are numerous changes compared to the Federal Council’s proposal. In summary, agriculture will receive almost 70 million francs more, at the expense of social assistance for asylum seekers, temporarily admitted people and refugees (minus 30 million francs) and regional development (minus 25 million francs).
