2027: the budget as the Federal Council proposes it to Parliament (dispatch of August). Parliament adopts it in the winter session; until then it may still change.

Not here yet

The Confederation publishes these figures; schwur.ch has not read them in yet:

  • Performance groups with basic mandate, goals and indicators (Band 2)
  • Global budget and every credit with budget and financial plan (Band 2)
  • Commitment credits and payment ceilings (Band 1B)

Not public. What a single service of this office costs is in its internal cost and performance accounting. The Confederation does not publish it; only the expenditure per performance group is public.

None of these lines is shown here as zero francs. Missing and zero are two different statements.

Sources: the administrative unit from Band 2 of the federal accounts and the budget; positions, staff, IT and consultancy from «Bundesfinanzen – Institutionen»; subsidies from the Finance Administration's subsidy database.

Not an official publication. The figures stand as the Federal Finance Administration publishes them; schwur.ch only rounds them.
