The Confederation’s finances

Every department, authority and court together — not the Federal Department of Finance, whose own profile sits with the departments.

Revenue 202587.8bn CHF+4.3 % on 2024
Expenditure 202587.6bn CHF+3.9 % on 2024
Ordinary balance 2025+1.2bn CHFSurplus in the ordinary budget
Gross debt 2025128.6bn CHF−0.7 % on 2024

Revenue, spending and balance come from the financing statement. Gross debt is a stock at the end of the year; a stock is never added to yearly figures.

From the accounts to the financing balance, 2025

Two of the Confederation’s accounts, traceably joined: self-financing and net investment together make the financing balance.

  • 6.2Self-financing
  • −5.9Net investment
  • +0.3Balance

bn CHF · The signs are the source’s own: net investment is stated negative and is added here, not subtracted.

The Finance Administration’s own check: raw difference 0 CHF, allowed are 0.0001.

Accounts and balance sheet

Accounts data

The Federal Finance Administration keeps its accounts in several parts. This page shows one of them so far.

  • read inFinancing statementRevenue, spending, financing balance, debt brake and gross debt — the figures on this page.
  • read inStatement of financial performance (extract)Officially published and two-stage since 2023: first self-financing, then the annual result including revaluations.Open this table

«Not read in yet» means: the official account exists, schwur.ch has not imported it. That is a gap of this portal, not of the source.

Official closings of the annual accounts

What the printed volumes carry and the data portal does not: the closings of the seven departments, the eight closings of the authorities and courts, and the Confederation’s cash flow statement.

  • read inDepartementsabschlüsse, Staatsrechnung Band 2Seven profiles, each with its own official closing.Aus den PDF der Staatsrechnung, je Departement ein eigener Abschluss: R 2024, VA 2025 und R 2025 - derselbe Jahrgang auf zwei Grundlagen.

CHF, Rundungsschritt 1, zwei Rechnungsjahre. Quellenkette bis zur gedruckten Seite.Cash flow statement

No departmental total. The Finance Administration does not publish the seven departments as parts of the Confederation as a whole; without the internal relations reconciled, their sum is no household. schwur.ch therefore does not form it.

Sources & coverage

Where the figures come from, which release is stored and what stays open. No completeness rate: there is no documented denominator for one.

There is no completeness percentage here. It would be made up while nobody knows the total number of official items.

Accounts to 2025; 2026 is the budget, planning follows. Planned values are never added to accounts values.

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