Bern, 29.10.2025 — The Federal Council took note of the current end-September extrapolation on 29 October 2025. The Confederation is reckoning on a financing deficit of CHF 0.6 billion for this year. The expected deficit is thus likely to be CHF 0.4 billion higher than forecast in the June extrapolation. However, the deficit is smaller than originally budgeted.
